Festival history

1 million Afghans are estimated to be addicted to drugs, especially heroin. Alarmingly, 40% of these are women and children. An intimate observational documentary that explores the reality behind the headlines as seen through the eyes of Jabar & Zahir, two 15 year old drug addicts living in Kabul. Addicted in Afghanistan is an intimate and uncompromising portrayal, filmed over a year, of the day to day struggles of a new generation of children addicted to heroin, trying to find their way in the new Afghanistan, after the fall of the Taliban.
