With breathtaking material Finding Ali unveils the occupation of Afghanistan, the logical development of mistrust, disappointment and rage from ordinary Afghans against the U.S.A. and the Nato. They were promised peace and development, but were given a brutal War against Terror.
Being welcomed with open arms a decade ago, the filmmaker now experiences an overwhelming feeling of rejection, painfully culminating in a road-side attempt on his life.
