I woke up bright and early this morning to have a wide ranging chat with Najeeb Mirza, director of The Sweetest Embrace: Return to Afghanistan, about the different challenges in making of the documentary and the danger of making film in places like Afghanistan, etc. This documentary takes you on a beautiful and yet dangerous journey by Soorgul and Amir to see their families who they haven't seen for 16 years.
