Description
Shooting Kabul tells the powerful story of Fadi's journey as he navigates life in the United States after his family flees Afghanistan. Based on the author's own experience, this heart-wrenching tale explores themes of hope, love and perseverance.
In the summer of 2001, Fadi's parents make the difficult decision to leave their home behind, but chaos ensues when their younger sister Mariam becomes lost in the crowd during a chaotic transport. As the events of September 11th unfold, Fadi's family faces an uncertain future, and he must find a way to return to Afghanistan to locate his sister.
A photography competition with a grand prize trip to India offers Fadi a chance to return home, but can one photo really bring Mariam back? This moving story of love and perseverance is a powerful exploration of the human spirit.
