“I don't make a film to make people like it. I make a film to make people think”
Nelofer Pazira

“In search of the past, I have travelled halfway around the globe, from Canada to Afghanistan, from a world of peace, material comfort and technology to a country that lives in the shadow of its history - a place whose only relevance to the rest of the world depends on the value and extent of a Westerner's life and "security". It may be illusionary, self-indulgent or bizarre, but I still think digging into the grave of history might lead to an understanding of the present.”
Nelofer Pazira, A Bed of Red Flowers: In Search of My Afghanistan

“Peaceful?' they ask, at a loss for words. For those lucky enough never to have experienced war, the word "peaceful" has little meaning.”
Nelofer Pazira, A Bed of Red Flowers: In Search of My Afghanistan
