The Giant Buddhas (2005)

Christian Frei's documentary traces the tragic tale of the giant Buddhas of Afghanistan's Bamiyan Valley, which stood as monumental landmarks for 1,500 years until 2001, when the Taliban declared that all non-Islamic statues in the country be destroyed. Despite international protest, the statues were blown up. Through interwoven narratives from past and present, Frei's film sheds light on the disturbing consequences of religious fanaticism.

I enjoyed the individual stories but in the end there was no closure.

Fantastic score and everything but the "Dear Nellifer" was annoying and the subject matter is kinda boring. It felt drawn out, could have made it fit into and hour.

Christian Frei manages again to create a documentary feature that is fascinating and interesting. The distruction of the giant buddahs in Bamyian in Afghanistan is his starting point, but during the movie he discovers many more stories connected to this tragic loss of cultural heritage!

The premises of the documentary is the giant Buddha statue in Afghanistan that was destroyed by the Taliban.But the intertwined stories of society, nations, individual people and their reaction & perspectives makes this documentary rich in grasping the human race and its complexity.

Christian Frei had enough material for three films, yet, when compiled together, each story feels a bit incomplete.
