Synopsis
Mariam Ghani's documentary features the unfinished film "The April Revolution," originally commissioned in 1978 to commemorate the Saur Revolution. The film includes clips from five incomplete Afghan productions, all started during the Communist regime. Ghani's six years of research at Afghanistan's National Film Archive in Kabul led to the discovery of these works, which were abandoned due to political upheaval. Interviews with filmmakers and cast members provide context about the sociopolitical climate that influenced these projects between 1978 and 1992.
