smiling in a war zone (trailer)

Danish artist Simone Aaberg Kærn reads in a newspaper about a teenage girl from Afghanistan whose dream is to become a pilot. Being a pilot herself Simone identifies with the girl and decides to make her dream come true. She buys a plane -- although the most expensive one she can afford is a forty year old Piper-Colt -- and begins the six thousand kilometre journey to Kabul. When she finally arrives at the border of Afghanistan the US military refuses her entry, but Simone is not willing to give up her fight for the freedom of the skies.

This movie is fantastic. One thing is to plan to fly to Kabul in a 40+ year old Piper - another thing is to really do it - and keep on and not give up. What an incredible danish woman she is ... :-)
