Riders on the Storm
Streaming video - 2023
RIDERS ON THE STORM captures a crucial moment in Afghan history and offers an intense look at a brutal sports culture where champions are marked men. Khaiber Akbarzada is on the verge of becoming Afghanistan’s best Buzkashi player, a sport where horsemen battle over a headless goat. As the Taliban gains ground amid the US withdrawal, Khaiber’s triumph in the national tournament brings both fame and danger. Forced into hiding after militants begin targeting influential figures, he must decide his future, mirroring the blurred lines between war and sport in Afghanistan’s volatile landscape.
