JANUARY 25 – FEBRUARY 25, 2024
Selling Kabul
By Sylvia Khoury,
Directed by Hamid Dehghani
Taroon once served as an interpreter for the U.S. military in Afghanistan. Now that the Americans are withdrawing — along with their promises of protection — Taroon spends his days in hiding, a target of the increasingly powerful Taliban. On the day his son is born, he must choose between staying concealed in his sister’s apartment or risking his life to see his child.
