Ten years later, she found herself in Kabul at Hope House, a sanctuary for orphans and widows established by the indefatigable Afghan-Australian, Mahboba Rawi, to help make a film that would feature the love marriage of a young man from the orphanage and a local girl. While the narrative tension of this absorbing story is generated by the pitfalls and dangers of making a film in Afghanistan, and the drawn-out negotiations with the bride-to-be's father to allow the wedding to take place, it is the children, with their tragic stories, irrepressible energy and dignity who win our hearts.\u0026amp;#x27; - Fiona Capp, \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSydney Morning Herald\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46798823358622,"sku":"ADS-9780648901105","price":24.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780648901105.jpg?v=1778120250","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780648901105","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
