ABOUT THE FILM

LOGLINE

THE LAST SONG IN KABUL tells the riveting, heroic story of young orphaned girls whose music school was closed after the Taliban took over Afghanistan as they escape to Portugal to try and rebuild their fractured lives and begin to play music again.

LONG SYNOPSIS

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.
