Kabul, Kabul recounts, in a fragmented narrative, the director’s journey back to Afghanistan after a twenty-three-year absence. In 1979, after the Soviet invasion, she left Afghanistan under the Taliban for USA, along with her father, who is a doctor. She returns to Afghanistan in 1999 and makes a video. It is a documentary road movie which includes a journey from a border region between Pakistan and Afghanistan to Jalalabad and Kabul. The camera wanders and explores the roads of Afghanistan including bleak desert, weaponry, buildings in ruins, refugee camps, rough mountains and street stalls. She weaves in interviews with Afghan women who have lost their families and strive to survive in the war. Intertwining the voice of her mother, who can not go back to her home town, with the voices of Afghan women suffering from the war, she mourns for Kabul, the city of grief and death. (Kim Sun-ah)
