A film about shared humanity, friendship, loss and grief, and skiing

This film completely blew me away.

It follows skiers from the Bamyan region of Afghanistan during the years 2019-2022. It shows how shared goals and the joy of sports can unite communities and how these pursuits extend far beyond just winning. The themes of this film are universally applicable and very salient today.

After watching this film, I'm inspired to get to know my neighbors better, support refugees in my community, and adopt curiosity when meeting new people and people who are different than me.

This isn't a political film. It's a film about our shared humanity as citizens of the globe. I cannot recommend it enough!

Well made, insightful film with bittersweet insights into what migh thave been

We saw it as part of the Tribeca Film Festival -- very enjoyable but also sad, joyful but bittersweet. Highly recommended. It puts faces to the trauma that has been the ongoing history of Afghanistan the last many decades.

For those who live in areas that house refugees, the film gives you insights into what these newcomers might have been facing in their native countries -- and hopefully makes you feel more welcoming, patient and kind toward those displaced through no real fault of their own.

It also gives me, a sometime skier, a better appreciation for the sport -- the joy that even the simplest equipment and techniques can bring.

Must watch for everyone!

This film is incredible in both its cinematography and visual story telling, as well as all of the individual stories within this film. It made me laugh, cry, and gave me chills. This is truly a powerful story that I would recommend to any adult.

I am writing this review after my second time seeing it. This is a movie you could continue to watch over and over and still see different parts of it come through every time. In my opinion, that is truly a testament of how remarkable this movie is.

The heart and soul of this movie truly comes through as everyone involved with this film has been so deeply connected to one another.

Heartfelt, Moving, and Impactful

This movie was an incredible feat of storytelling, blending culture, sport, and conflict in a perfect way that brought you into the Afghanistan with compassion. It made you feel years of joy as you watched kids build skis out of wood and scraps of plastic and then to watch them laugh as the shredded down the mountain. But it also broke your heart when you realize how fragile life in a warzone is. The bridging of tribal tensions through sport was an achievement, it portrays a great rivalry that only the outdoors can heal. The representation of women and girls doing something as radical as skiing in Afghanistan swelled your heart. Highly recommend!

Bring your tissues!!!!

Let me start by saying, I'm not a fan of documentaries or subtitles. That being said, I absolutely loved this movie. I quickly forgot it was a documentary or that I was even reading subtitles. It was a heart wrenching, beautiful, emotional experience. It was a privilege to connect and experience a culture so different than mine and was even more poignant with the current political shift in our country at the moment. This movie highlighted a universal connection and told the stories of brave champions that I otherwise never would have heard of. In such a short time, I experienced hope, pride, love, nervousness, joy, fear, sadness, and rage. I cheered for people that I will never know and for a moment was able to share into a feeling of universal connectedness. I highly recommend this movie to everyone!!!!
