In the summer of 2001, twelve year old Fadi's parents make the
difficult decision to illegally leave Afghanistan and move the
family to the United States. When their underground transport
arrives at the rendezvous point, chaos ensues, and Fadi is left
dragging his younger sister Mariam through the crush of people. But
Mariam accidentally lets go of his hand and becomes lost in the
crowd, just as Fadi is snatched up into the truck. With Taliban
soldiers closing in, the truck speeds away, leaving Mariam behind.
Adjusting to life in the United States isn't easy for Fadi's family
and as the events of September 11th unfold the prospects of
locating Mariam in a war torn Afghanistan seem slim. When a
photography competition with a grand prize trip to India is
announced, Fadi sees his chance to return to Afghanistan and find
his sister. But can one photo really bring Mariam home? Based in
part on the Ms. Senzai's husband's own experience fleeing his home
in Soviet controlled Afghanistan in the 1970s, Shooting Kabul is a
powerful story of hope, love, and perseverance.
