PRODUCTION INFORMATION

My stupid brother. If you step outside that door you murder your child. You murder your wife. You murder my husband. You murder me.

Kabul, 2013. The United States has just begun a major withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan.

On the eve of his son’s birth, Taroon takes shelter with his sister, Afiya, and her husband, Jawid. Taroon was an interpreter for the US military, and is waiting for news on his visa application. Desperate to see his wife and baby, he must risk the lives of everyone he loves by venturing to the hospital. 

Khoury’s Pulitzer nominated drama powerfully portrays the humanity and courage of one Afghan family, and asks ‘what would you do to save another person’s life?’

“A high-wire drama.” ★★★★
