Documentary film on Afghanistan
On Tuesday, April 20, 2004, at 7:00 pm, a free showing of the innovative 2000 documentary Kabul Kabul (running time 46 minutes) will be presented at the Kentucky Theatre in downtown Lexington.
Co-sponsored by Central Kentucky Council for Peace and Justice, One World Films, the UK President’s Commission on Women, and UK’s Women’s Studies program, Kabul Kabul documents filmmaker Sedika Mojadidi’s journey back to her native Afghanistan after a 23 year absence.
This cinematic narrative wrestles with the multiple layers of loss, memory, and mourning experienced by both Mojadidi and an Afghan people confronted by years of war. Sedika Mojadidi will introduce the film, show excerpts from her work-in-progress, which is also about Afghanistan, and answer questions. A reception in the lobby will follow.
