    I was in Kabul twice in 1970 - coming and going from further east. I can't say anything in the film rings a bell, but then it was 52 years ago. I slept on the roof of my hotel (it was cheaper) and delighted in mango ice cream and of course the local crop. I was impressed by the afghanis' general unimpressed take on western culture - for example their mix of motorized and horse-drawn vehicles; I wrote a letter home saying I'd arrived in paradise with the world's sanest people. Thanks for the film.

    Imagine the mind blowing effect on 'hippies' 50 years ago. From ordinary little lives in Britain to hashish and magic carpets. No one had internet and all you saw of foreign places was a few photos. Mind blowing.

    I remember the museum. It wasn’t too impressive but visiting in the 70’s was like stepping into biblical times in many ways, (especially Herat). That was impressive. An honest proud people by and large.
    Islam was strong then too (the buses would pull over for prayer times) but not militant. The city folk seemed to have tolerance for those not of the faith.

    In the 1960s and 70s; Thousands of American and European Hippies in search of cheap Hashish and whatever; Were starting their journey in Turkey. Hitchhiking through Iran, Afghanistan, Peshawar, India and on the way to their final destination, Kathmandu Nepal. By the time (some of) them reached Nepal; They were exhausted, wasted, weak, sick and died. The world’s biggest Hippie Cemetery is in Kathmandu, Nepal. I remember, they didn’t bother anyone in Afghanistan and nobody cared; Live and let live.
    By the way, for those of you who are investors in the Commodities Market 😀; In the 1960s, Hashish was about $ 4.00 a pound in Afghanistan.

    One can now understand the reason for d current situation in Afghanistan. Not much importance was given to literacy. So, it became easier for Islamic fundamentalists to brainwash d innocent Afghans, leading to dis present day. I sincerely wish that United Nations does something to save Afghanistan.

      Wrong!! Afghans were very intellectual before taliban! Taliban were young kids schooled in US and Saudi funded Pakistani madrassas and refugee camps. They were indoctrinated with books about killing and violence - these textbooks were created by US to brainwash these children, many of whom were orphans. The taliban is who they became
