Le magicien de Kaboul (2008)

In 2001, Haruhiro Shiratori lost his only child in the attacks on the World Trade Center. Instead of isolating himself in grief, he decided to meet the Afghan people and help them, to prevent such attacks from happening again. Over four years and on three continents, Philippe Baylaucq filmed the quest of this Japanese Don Quixote who dreamed of building a cultural center for the children of Kabul. The double story of a humanist project ambushed by problems and a father seeking reconciliation with his dead son.
