In the high peaks of Afghanistan, young athletes from rival villages
build makeshift wooden skis and convene for a mountain race
that unites the community in a moment of peace and triumph
just before their country's collapse. Champions of the Golden Valley
merges the triumphant spirit of a classic underdog sports story
with the heartfelt portrait of a people finding hope amid disrupted
dreams. Revealing a stunning unseen side of Afghanistan,
it is an uplifting exploration of what it means to be a champion -
in all its forms.
