“For the Love of Afghanistan” profiles an expat Afghan’s dream to bring his beloved sport to his homeland, serving as both a testament to passion and a bittersweet farewell to a fleeting chapter of his life.
For the Love of Afghanistan follows Farid Noori, an Afghan mountain biker and advocate, as he works to build a cycling community in Afghanistan while supporting young athletes facing displacement and Taliban threats. Set against the backdrop of the Vermont landscape where Farid resides, the film is a story of identity, resilience, and the power of sport to connect people across borders.
