I love it...
So I think I will really like this documentary, Out of the Ashes, as well when it's completed.
It follows the Afghanistan cricket team (yes, they do have one) as they attempt to qualify for the cricket world cup.
What I like about this is that it shows a different side to Afghanistan - a breath of fresh air, if you will, in a similar way to the excellent documentary, Afghan Star.
Have a look at the trailer and see what you think, one of our members, Tim Albone is involved in the production and I hope to show it at the club when it's finished.
Send me your thoughts, comments etc. Or can you think of other similarly interesting documentaries, I'm always interested to hear
