When Abdul Bari Jamal moved to Canada from Kandahar, Afghanistan, he wanted to find a little piece of home in Canada. That's why he purchased land in Kandahar, Saskatchewan, for every member of his family. Jamal's daughter Aisha Jamal created a film about her family's journey from one Kandahar to another, including their first visit to the Saskatchewan town. The footage she shot later became her documentary "A Kandahar Away," which premiered this year at the Hot Docs Film Festival and has been screened in Saskatchewan. Aisha Jamal joins Gormley now to discuss the film, her family, and what she plans to do with her little piece of Kandahar.
