	I was truly disappointed in this film basically because I believe it presents a distorted view of the Afghani people. It appeared that the only people who could be trusted were English speakers! There were no Afghani people presented which you could respect and honour. Of course the Afghan Canadian lead could be trusted, but it seemed she was an observer, no longer a part of the culture (perhaps she has been "civilised" by her years in Canada?!) And on what basis did the doctor decide that the young boy could not be trusted? And then place the woman in the hands of someone we knew could not be trusted! Some of the images were memorable, but you could go to the National Geographic for those. It is a great pity that the film is an outsider's view of Afghanistan. Both my husband, a Muslim, and I were offended by the representation of the children in the mosque with the sabre and the automatic rifle. That particular scene may be realistic, and it is shocking to contemplate, but where was the balance for a non-Muslim audience? My experience of Islam is so very different. (4/10)
