"My country fights a war in my father’s country. And I look on with a growing sense of confusion." So Ariel Nasr begins his powerful new documentary, which gives voice to the dilemmas felt by thousands of young Afghans around the world as they grapple with events in their homeland. Meet young Afghan-Canadians torn between a deep desire to help Afghanistan and fear that things will never change. The film will be followed by discussion with a recently returned Canadian General, member(s) of Edmonton's Afghan community and a representative from CIDA's Afghanistan Challenge initiative.
