@vallery75 This is part of the documentary "United states of afghanistan". This was shot in 2002 and Ali was 9 years old. This year they went back and made the the follow up "finding Ali". They found him but after a decade of war he did not like westerners and he would not talk to them. The mentality towards westerners have changed for the worse since 2002. The project ended early when the film maker pål hollender was shot and had to return to sweden.
