Synopsis

From the visionary director of Soundtrack to War and Rampage, SNOW MONKEY is an epic portrait of daily life in Jalalabad, where art activist George Gittoes recruited gangs of war-damaged children to shoot local, Pashto-style films: vibrant, colourful and infused with the violence they experience on a daily basis.
