Afghanistan and skiing seem an unlikely pairing. Yet for a young generation of shepherds residing in mountain regions of this war-weary country, skiing feels like freedom. Alishah Farhang, Afghanistan’s first Olympic skier returns from exile to his homeland to discover this growing subculture. Viewers will not soon forget the sight of smiling Afghans schussing the snowy peaks of their native mountains, some on homemade wooden skis, in the region’s first ever downhill competition. Explore what comes next for these incredible skiers!
