A glimpse into the turmoil, sadness and resilience of Afghan children living during Taliban rule. Prior to 9/11, producer Kathryn Linehan obtained footage taken of Afghan refugee children received through contacts in Pakistan. The footage was filmed by three members of the Afghan Youth Society and smuggled out of the country by foreign aid workers. Robert Burke wove together a short documentary showing the spirit and grit of Afghanistan's displaced children.

The film screened at Paramount Studios and the Sundance Film Festival in the Gen-Y Studios program.
