The most-talked about documentary of this year’s Tribeca Film Festival follows two 9/11 widows on a courageous journey from their middle-class suburban homes to the most desolate Afghan villages. There, they discover an unlikely kinship with widows halfway around the world. Shattering class and cultural barriers, theirs is a journey of personal strength and international reconciliation, and a testament to the vision that peace can be forged – one woman at a time.
