Son of a Lion (2007)


 

11 year old Niaz's father has been a Pashtun on jihad in Afghanistan. Back in Darra in NWFP of Pakistan, where guns and hashish are common, he wants Niaz to learn to shoot and work in his gun workshop, while Niaz wants to go to school.

Entirely cast with amateurs and filmed on location, this film has the feel of a documentary and sure-handedly gives a realistic and revealing portrait of the region and its people.
