If movies be a book you turn to learn a world you haven't seen, "Kandahar" is one of them. A banished Afghan girl from Canada makes a treacherous journey to Afganisthan from the Iranian border exposing herself to the risks of encountering mines, robbers, and militants meeting people, tribes, Red Cross officials to get herself moving to the journey to Kandahar. It gives a vivid and harrowing account to the survival amid the war torn land and values existence affords. Shot and narrated with a documentary feel, it depicts a veracious milieu to cinematic brilliance though it feels it leaves much unexplained in the end with one carving more to happen.
