Motherland Afghanistan

Description

Filmmaker Sedika Mojadidi and her father, Dr. Qudrat Mojadidi, are Afghans who have made a home in the United States. After the US-led invasion to oust the Taliban, Dr. Mojadidi, a specialist in women's health, decides to return to his war-ravaged homeland to help rebuild and modernize the hospitals and clinics that serve the women of Afghanistan. Sedika, camera in hand, accompanies her father to document this most difficult, yet rewarding journey. The result is "Motherland Afghanistan", an inspiring portrait of dedication and fortitude in some of the harshest and most unforgiving physical, political, and cultural terrain on earth.
