Summary |
More than one million Afghans were driven out of their homes by American bombs. Some 8,000 of them ended-up in Makaki, the desperately under-resourced Iranian Red Crescent refugee camp near the Afghan-Iran border. The 5,500 refugees with tents are the camp's lucky ones - the real tragedy unfolds among the people on the outskirts. These people have travelled for miles in the hope of getting food and shelter, only to be disappointed. Documentary film-maker Taghi Amirani gained rare access to Makaki to expose the plight of these forgotten refugees. 'If one American dies, ' says one, 'the whole world hears about it. I've lost my wife and child and now live in dirt, and no one cares' |
