Naveed: Through My Eyes

A heartfelt story of a teenage boy living in the conflict zone of Afghanistan.

Description

Naveed: Through My Eyes is a compelling tale of resilience and hope set against the backdrop of war-torn Afghanistan. Naveed is weary of the continuous conflict—the presence of foreign powers, the Taliban, the warlords, and the drug barons that have ravaged his homeland.

Forced to mature swiftly, Naveed takes on the responsibility of caring for his widowed mother and little sister, striving to earn a living through odd jobs and selling goods at the markets. His life takes a turn when he adopts Nasera, a street dog with extraordinary abilities, offering him a glimmer of hope and a chance to contribute to the rebuilding of his country.

However, Naveed's aspirations for peace are jeopardised when a newfound friend betrays him. Yet, amidst the harsh winter of war, a spring of hope emerges. This gripping narrative captures the enduring strength of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
