LAST SONG FROM KABUL

#SIMA2024 BEST DIRECTOR & BEST SOUND (SHORT DOCUMENTARY) WINNER
The music stopped when the Taliban took over Afghanistan - it was forbidden, the penalty, death. Young girls who belonged to a music school had to go into hiding where they feared for themselves and their families. Now orphans with broken hearts, The Last Song From Kabul directed by Kevin McDonald (Oscar® winning The Last King of Scotland) tells the riveting, heroic story of their escape to Portugal where they try to rebuild their fractured lives and begin to play music again.
