The Birth of Afghan Cinema | The Forbidden Reel

In 1968, the state-funded Afghan Film production and archive institute opened and Afghan cinema was born.
Since then, many aspects of Afghan culture have been systematically destroyed or forgotten.
But the Afghan Film’s archive has been largely preserved through all of these years. A small group of people risked their lives to save the national archive.
They managed to preserve the films and records of all of the other "Afghanistans" that existed - saving decades of history.
They believed these films had something to give to the present moment. We will send the episode details with a new episode each week.

    Thank you for this documentary. These films are precious memories of an era. Is there any way these films could be screened or given to streaming sites such as MUBI or Netflix. These frames really touched my heart. Couldn't resist tears particularly during the scenes when the filmmakers talked about their love for films. Prayers for Peace and Stability.

    Not only cinema. A rich tradition of north east Malay cultural tradition was banned and destroyed. And those who did it turned out just as corrupt as the secular politcal parties

    20 years of American bombs and the west is obsessed with preserving Afghanistan's past. There is nothing wrong in preserving history but why not document the present and recent past. Al Jazeera needs to do better.
