About five never completed films made between 1978 and 1992 before the backdrop of the various communist regimes that came to power in Afghanistan. Scenes from these films, some of which later reused in other works, are edited together with current footage of their locations and commentaries by the filmmakers and actors involved in the productions, allowing us to dive into action films and romantic dramas that revolve around local histories and conflicts.

What We Left Unfinished
Watched at The Knick with a Q and A from the director in post. The added context of the current Taliban regime (and that the subjects of the film have all since fled the country) makes this an even more poignant documentary.

“what Mariam Ghani does is give these movies life outside of the archive they were eventually found in, gives them a different narrative, and finishes them"
