Review of Jirga

Jirga (2018)
6/10
Taliban: Good or Bad or ...
8 December 2019
Jirga: An Afghan court of tribal elders. Positive: Showed the countryside; the markets of Afghanistan, and some of it's peoples as our ex-Aussie soldier travels to ask forgiveness of a family for the mistaken killing of their father. As to the war it brings up the question of, "Do the means justify the end?" Perhaps it should be the other way around, "Does the end justify the means?" Negative: We do not see the Taliban for its male centric treatment of females; amongst the worst of any country on Earth. Nor it's disregard for education, & basic human freedoms. Nor it's indiscriminate killing of thousands. Neutral oddity: Most Afghan cars have steering wheels on the right yet they drive on the right side of the road (same as left side steering countries like the U.S.).
