    • Synopsis
    • In 1960 filmmaker James Ivory made a trip to Afghanistan to shoot scenes for a documentary. The film was never completed and the footage stayed in a box unseen for 60 years.

      In 2022, aged 94, he decided to revisit this unique material as a means to look back at his younger self and unravel how this unlikely journey far from his hometown in Oregon, helped form the celebrated filmmaker he was to become.
