Drei Lieder für Benazir

A beautiful movie with a strong story from the depth of the Afghan Society. It amazingly showcases the struggle of a young Afghan boy who despite manny challenges never forgets to love his family and keep working for his dream. Now that Afghanistan lost his National Army it matters even more to remember all those youths who fought for their country for the last 20 years.

This film would be a great lesson for manny, must watch.

While it is important to talk about the situation in Afghanistan, it has so much more potential than what this short film portrayed.

I feel like I missed something crucial, because there is a wide gap that is unfilled. In the end, you get the picture, but it would have been better to witness what had happened.

Overall, this film does not show the grave issues of what it means to live there in these troubled times, hence 6/10.

This documentary portraits the wounds and the despair in a country where war has been dominated for decades.

But nonetheless, it also sketches beautifully the innocence, love, ambitions, dreams and vulnerability of the young Afghan generation that is overshadowed by the clouds of war..

Heartbreaking but beautifully captured.

So cute, simple, delicate, real, painful, tragic, simple, passionate, real... I would like you to delve a little deeper into Benazir's motivations for joining the Afghan army and "abandoning" his wife and baby son, I know he will in addition to his love for his country and the possibility of giving a little better life to both of them, as he had faced the whole family and community, which did not support him... Beautiful documentary...

Three Songs for Benazir is an incredibly intimate film about young love in the midst of ongoing turmoil in Afghanistan. Set for the most part in a refugee camp, the film conveys so much and is an essential watch for anyone who has any interest in Afghanistan. With the Taliban takeover last year, this film couldn't be more relevant.

Told through the perspective of Shaista, a young man (still a teenager), we understand what aspirations can be in the most challenging of circumstances:-- how it can break you, and that life, ultimately, is a struggle.

Elizabeth and Gulistan Mirzaei have created a beautiful poem and ode to the people of Afghanistan.
