Documentary of boy’s life in Afghanistan to be shown at Squalicum High School


Written by | The Bellingham Herald | April 30, 2012

BELLINGHAM — “The Boy Mir: Ten Years in Afghanistan,” will be shown 7 p.m. Wednesday, May 2, at Squalicum High School as part of a student’s senior project.

Bahara Naimzadeh, a first-generation Afghan-American, is presenting the documentary in the forum at the school, 3773 E. McLeod Road.

The event is open to the public. Admission is free, but donations to UNICEF’s Right to Education Fund will gladly be accepted.

The documentary by British filmmaker Phil Grabsky tracks the life of an Afghan boy from age 8, shortly after the fall of the Taliban, to 18 as he comes of age in his war-torn country.

Naimzadeh said she wants to spread the magic of the film and to educate people about the needs of Afghanistan, where she still has family.

“It’s an important cause for me with my family situation,” she said.
