Kabul Between Prayers

On a hill overlooking Kabul, 23-year-old Taliban fighter Samin lays down his rifle and prepares for prayer. He asks Allah to bless all suicide bombers and weeps as he seeks forgiveness for his sins. Back in the village waits his 14-year-old brother Rafi. Still a child, not yet a soldier, he recites Quranic verses perfectly without understanding their meaning, and giggles shyly when asked if he is in love with anyone. With several unforgettable scenes and a direct, observational style, Kabul Between Prayers delves deep into the heart of radicalization.
