The music stopped when the Taliban took over Afghanistan – it was forbidden, the penalty death. Young girls who belonged to a quiet music school had to go into hiding where they feared for themselves and their families. Directed by Academy Award-winner Kevin MacDonald (One Day in September, Whitney, The Mauritanian), Last Song From Kabul tells the riveting, heroic story of these girls, who, now orphans with broken hearts, must escape to Portugal where they try to rebuild their fractured lives and begin to play music again...
