In the aftermath of any war there are always victims – none are worse hit than the children. Ever since the land of Afghanistan was used as the last battleground of the cold war, it has always been the young, the innocent, and the helpless that have suffered the most. Arms, drugs and religious extremism have gripped the country and kept it in a state of perpetual chaos resulting in much of the problems we now face on a global scale.
The current situation is exposed as yet another facet of the cycles of invasions, incursions, insurgencies, foreign and indigenous which have left behind in their wake, generation after generation of orphans, refugees, vagabonds, homeless and rootless children who grow up to find refuge and security in the most untoward and undesirable havens.
In a larger historical context, the film explores these happenings against the backdrop of superpower conflicts of the cold war, in which most of the battles, military and ideological were fought on lands such as Afghanistan, and whose real casualties were the citizens of these lands, the most severe victims being the children.
