Tell Spring Not To Come This Year
D: Saeed Taji Farouky, Michael McEvoy | USA | 83 min | Arkansas Premiere
The War on Terror started with the invasion of Afghanistan in 2001. in 2014, NATO pulled out, leaving the fight to Afghans, including the soldiers of Heavy Weapons Company 3/3/215 Corps of the Afghan National Army. Saeed Taji Farouky and Michael McEvoy’s remarkable portrait provides a gritty, complex, and haunting look at a year in the lives of those soldiers. In some ways, they’re like soldiers everywhere.
