Part of DocuWeeks

Following the international hit The Boy who Plays on the Buddhas of Bamiyan, THE BOY MIR tracks cheeky, enthusiastic Mir from a childish 8 to a fully grown 18-year-old over ten years in Afghanistan. This is a journey into early adulthood in one of the toughest places on earth, and a journey that mirrors the vitally important story of Afghanistan.
