Spanning two decades in the life of one boy—growing up in a cave beside the Bamyan Buddhas—this film journeys through war, hope, and transformation in Afghanistan. My Childhood, My Country is an intimate, soul-stirring portrait of resilience that invites us to reflect on innocence, loss, and the enduring human spirit. A must-see.
