For centuries the Afghan people threw back all invaders. But in 1979, the Russians invaded with planes and tanks. 5 million Afghans fled the country. 300,000 lucky ones made it to North America. They escaped the Russians but not themselves. This film depicts the lives of the members of two families in New York.
