Amir: An Afghan Refugee Musician's Life in Peshawar, Pakistan
Amir, shot during the height of the Afghan civil war in the 1980s, investigates and portrays the life of Afghan refugees living in and around the city of Peshawar in northern Pakistan through the experiences of the musician Amir. The aspirations of Afghan refugees are expressed through their political songs dealing with the civil war in Afghanistan, with exile, with Afghan nationalism and with the Islamic revolution. In highly charged and tragic circumstances, music can be used in very direct ways, both to promote solidarity and as an agent of catharsis.

Reviews
To me, this movie is perfection.
Sadly Over-hyped
Powerful
Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.
