In 1979, after the Soviet attack on Afghanistan, millions of Afghans had to leave their country, and a lot of them went to Iran. Today, after 4 decades of life in Iran, the second and third generations have been born. Those people with Afghan roots have never seen their home country, nor have they had the opportunity to live there. Moreover, they are not considered as citizens in Iran; they're in a diaspora situation. They also suffer from beliefs and discriminatory behaviors from a part of the population that sees them as "the inferior other". Racism and the lack of citizenship have led to their exclusion from society. "In the documentary we talk about this excluded group and we share the experience of "being Afghan" in Iran from their point of view. The diaspora generation of today has new prospects and aims at leaving and finding a homeland." Soraya Akhlaqi
