RocKabul Trailer

RocKabul

Project for No Thing Productions and Argus Productions

RocKabul chronicles Afghanistan’s first heavy metal band and the very real threats to this mode of expression – and, in turn, the band members’ very lives – in a country in turmoil. Australian Journalist and Filmmaker Travis Beard spent ten years in Afghanistan, recording parts of life hardly seen in the Western media. The resulting documentary offers rare insight into life on the fringes of Afghan society, and the coming of age of five young men striving for freedom and personal identity in the most unforgiving of circumstances.

Nominated for Documentary Australia Foundation Award for Australian Documentary.
