A Flickering Truth
Film (Trailer) – 2015
... builds into a revelatory document about Afghanistan and its current travails ... Film, it becomes clear, has a special role here: as repository of history and culture that the Taliban’s year-zero mentality aimed to abolish ... This is moving, powerful stuff.– Guardian writer Andrew Pulver, in a four star review of A Flickering Truth, 28 April 2016
...the Afghan people are the most hospitable, resilient people I ever met. I think that they really respected somebody coming and being interested in trying to highlight the preservation of their culture.– Director Pietra Brettkelly in an interview with website The Independent, 21 September 2015
