Childrens
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. But in the chaos of
their departure, Fadi’s six-year-old sister gets lost in the
crowd—and is left 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 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 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.
