content: Edited film shot in Kabul, Herat, Kandahar, Spinbuldak, and the Afghan countryside in 1987, is a look at the "other" side of the war in Afghanistan - the Communist government and its supporters. Film includes interviews with Afghans, predominantly pro-government, describing the issues, events and conditions typifying the nine-year-old civil war. Hopes are expressed for the government's program of national reconciliation, with some compromises to be made between the modernist, pro-Soviet adherents and the predominantly tribal Islamic traditionalists.
