Very unusual and insightful film which really givens insight into the lives of a 'working class' father & son in Afghanistan. I felt I learned something valuable from watching it and found it an engaging story. 

Son of a Lion is a 2007 Australian-Pakistani drama film set in Darra Adam Khel, in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.[2] The film tells the story of Niaz Afridi (Niaz Khan Shinwari), a Pashtun boy who wants to go to school instead of carrying on the family business of manufacturing firearms.[1] The director, Benjamin Gilmour, is an Australian former paramedic; Son of a Lion is his first film. It was filmed in the area around Darra with the cooperation of local residents. The actors are local non-professionals and much of the dialogue is improvised.[3][4] It has received generally positive reviews. The film is in Pashto with English subtitles. (source)

It's incredible to contemplate the decades long fight the Afghanistan people have put up against first the USSR and then secondly the West. Such a very different situation to what has taken place in the world in 2020, in which essentially (imo) a worldwide coup has taken place without the firing of a shot.
