Aboozar Amini’s Kabul Between Prayers is a haunting portrait of two brothers growing up under the shadow of war and extremism. Samim (23), a part-time farmer and Taliban fighter, drifts through a rather aimless life shaped by conflict, poverty, and a rigid ideology that glorifies martyrdom. In his admiring younger brother Rafi (14), we witness the first pull of indoctrination—the seduction of ideology, the erosion of identity. With rare access and unflinching intimacy, Amini captures how extremism passes from brother to brother, revealing the birth of Afghanistan’s next generation of soldiers.
