Film: Cinema Of The World; Son Of A Lion (2007)
4 Feb 2010, 7:30 p.m.
This brave film is set in the troubled region of the Hindu Kush, the border of Pakistan and Afghanistan. It tells of a boy, resistant to picking up his father's trade of gun-making as he challenges the expectations of those around him. Made secretly and with non-professsionals this is rough, gorgeous cinema that speaks from the heart. this film speaks of personal freedom, AK47s and poetry.
