"Making a documentary like this, takes another kind of courage. It takes the courage to say that  this story is not known widely enough... This story needs to be told. It's an astonishing film, I promise you."

                                                                                                   Arthur Penn, June 2001.   

    "This is a brave, intelligent, tough movie that must be seen, now more than ever. Much more than just a piece of reporting, it is a very human portrait of the people of Afghanistan, and the horror of living in a state of never-ending war."

                                                                                                   Martin Scorsese, February 2002.
