When I first saw The Boy Who Plays On The Buddhas Of Bamiyan [2003] [DVD] back in 2003, I was fascinated by the story of the young Mir and how his world was affecting him in Afghanistan. When the DVD ended I often wondered how he was getting on. Now, 9 years later we are treated to a visits back to Mir who is now 15/16 (I think he was about 5 or 6 when we first met him).
The story told through the eyes of a young boy growing up into young adulthood was thought-provoking, interesting and captivating. No matter how bad his lot was, Mir always seemed to be smiling. He is poor, lived in a cave with his family and finally managed to find a ramshackle home for them. His internal struggles of wanting to go to school yet having to work even when as young as 6 in order to help feed his family were vary evident, yet, as just mentioned, he always seemed to be smiling. Inspirational.
If you enjoyed The Boy Who Played On The Buddhas of Bamiyan, I would strongly recommend that you repay a visit to Mir in The Boy Mir.

Insight into the lives of many Afghanis. Leaves many questions unanwered and unfortunately ends rather abruptly. A documentary record rather than a comprehensive film. Worth viewing if you want to gain some understanding of life in Afghanistan.
