Good Documentary -- Director Ethically Challenged
This documentary provides good insight to the struggles facing some families in Afghanistan. I frequently asked myself what I would do if faced with grinding poverty and few chances for improving my family's condition. They are so different yet they are so similar. The strength, intelligence, and character of Sabere is amazing! I found new hope in helping the Afghans as I prepare for a deployment. Would be five stars if the director helped Farzaneh stay with her family. This isn't Wild Kingdom where the director has an obligation to let Mother Nature sort things out -- these are real people. Let me know the next time a few dollars can save a life -- I can spare it.
