This is a very interesting film and I really liked watching every moment. Zachary saw it at the Tribeca Film Festival last summer and was impressed so I was happy to rent it on Netflix. Inspiring camera work and stories of the women are really in-depth. Bizarre to see such lovely women with huge hearts take this step to teach beauty and hair skills to Afghan women. My big concern now, is about how the school doing today. Wondering in light of the awful situation there now. My brother Tim, has spent some time in Kabul with his micro-finance development work (US-AID Sponsored project that has since ended), but when he was there, he wasn't able to do much "sight-seeing". Hope that it is still in operation.
One touching scene is when the throngs of women go to the school to enroll and learn that they can only accept 20 students at a time. Another lovely moment is when they explain on a white board, that a woman student needs to be healthy and rested to be fresh to absorb the material. They explain exactly how much sleep a woman needs to be healthy, (6-8 hrs/night). I think this was so interesting and just shows some of the completely fascinating documentaries out there that we can now rent over our computers that shed light on far away places and cultures. Rent it now.
