Really worth watching

Gives you a whole other image of the Afghan people. Mir is the cutest little boy who's excited about the simplest things in life. It's interesting to watch him grow up into a man who has to provide for his family in poverty. I hope him and his family manage to escape the taliban rule. All in all, I really enjoyed watching this documentary and would recommend it to anyone!
