Incredible Documentary!
26 February 2007
I had the lucky experience of meeting the director of this film at this year's Sundance film festival. What is truly extraordinary about this film is how incredible the cinematography is despite the hostile environment of Afghanistan it takes place in. The extremely small, all female crew had little equipment on their backs and still they succeeded in making this film incredibly beautiful in what seems to be one of the worlds worst places to be in right now. The film explores Mamalai Joya, a woman who fights for a change in Afghanistan from the drug and warlords that seemingly rule the streets. Mamalai reaches to the people and helps them through their problems. By the end of the film Mamalai reaches her goal and change finally takes place for her people.

Wow what a feat! You have not lived until you've seen Enemies Of Happiness!

this movie really is bad

Warning: Spoilers
Look, don't get me wrong I love independent films but COME ON! I could barely sit through it without wanting to kill myself. the director had absolutely no talent and he turned something that could have been OK to a F***ing Nightmare. I am a punk enthusiast myself and even the music sucked. the acting was crap.

I am usually a bleeding heart for these low budget films but this one, this one didn't even try. Please don't waste your precious time and money. I am sorry to be so harsh but come on! it dragged on and and on and on. Remember when the kids got into that party with the weird cupcakes and the watermelon martinis? how did they just blend in? It made me frustrated how they could just go anywhere they wanted and get into trouble and have sex and a "meaningful conversation" with whoever they wanted. I know im blathering but my mind is just buzzing with everything I hated about this film.
