A new short film shot and produced in Afghanistan hopes to rekindle the nation's cinema after it was a Taliban-era ban and a three-decade-long conflict. Buzkashi Boys, a story of two Afghan boys coming-of-age in the Central Asian nation, was shot entirely on location in the Afghan capital. Featuring icons of Afghan culture like the national sport of buzkashi and prominent visual placement of the now destroyed Darul Aman palace, the film hopes to inspire a new generation of young Afghan filmmakers who will once again make original features in the nation. Al Jazeera's Jennifer Glasse reports from Kabul.
