After foreign troops withdraw from Afghanistan in 2021, the filmmaker is given permission to follow and film two Taliban military men for a year as they take hold of the weapons and aircraft left behind by American troops. Through careful observation of the Taliban’s efforts to build their new military regime, an understanding slowly develops of the power dynamics of those who worship war and the pain it causes for generations. Hollywoodgate is brave, shocking, and sobering.
The first screening will be followed by a Q&A with director Ibrahim Nash'at, producer Talal Derki, producer Odessa Rae, and producer Shane Boris .

A NEW KIND OF WILDERNESS
Nik and Maria, a British bohemian and a Norwegian photographer, fall in love and decide to raise their children in a non-traditional environment, learning from nature instead of textbooks and school desks. Tragically, Maria passes away young, upending the family’s bucolic existence. As the remaining parent, Nik works to hold true to the vision he shared with his life partner, despite outside pressure, while navigating the challenges of being unmoored by loss.- Jaie Laplante
