Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4qCt1tsQPw When Afghanistan first fell to the Taliban over twenty years ago, the staff of Afghan Film, the national film archive, risked their lives to hide its valuable collection from destruction. Years later, Afghan Canadian filmmaker Ariel Nasr was given unprecedented access to the rescued material to create this compelling, fresh look at the nation’s history, from the Cold War to the rise of Islamic extremism. “The Forbidden Reel clearly illustrates how invaluable cinema is, not only as an artistic expression or factual report, but also as a means to know and understand one’s own history better” (International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam). Winner of the Rogers Audience Award at the Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival.
