Back Home Tomorrow
Series: Human Rights Watch International Film Festival [2009]
Director: Fabrizio Lazzaretti & Paolo Santolini, Country: Afghanistan/Sudan, Release: 2008, Runtime: 90
In Dari, Nuba, and Arabic with English subtitles

Fabrizio Lazzaretti and Paolo Santolini share the moving stories of two children affected by war to present the remarkable work of the Italian aid organization Emergency. Yagoub fled with his family from Darfur to a refugee camp in Khartoum. He has to undergo a serious heart operation, but neither his family nor his fellow tribesmen can pay for it. Murtaza is recuperating in a Kabul hospital after losing his left hand to a landmine. The directors interweave these stories without commentary to create a complex film with rich emotional resonance.
