Ailelerini geride bırakan ekip, Kuzey Afganistan'ın uzak, engebeli arazisine yerleştirilir ve burada ortak düşmanları Taliban ve El-Kaide'ye karşı savaşmak için General Rashid Dostum'u ikna etmeleri gerekmektedir. Karşılıklı güvensizliği ve geniş bir kültürel bölünmeyi yenmenin yanı sıra Amerikalılar, Afgan atlı askerlerinin taktiklerini de benimsemek zorunda kalırlar. Kolay olmayan bir bağ oluşturup saygı oluşturmalarına rağmen yeni müttefikler çok fazla sayıda ve tutsak almayan acımasız bir düşmanla karşı karşıya kalırlar.

Under Concrete

Amal is 14 years old when she ends up on Tahrir Square during the Egyptian revolution, after the death of her boyfriend in the Port Said Stadium riot. During the protests, she is beaten by police and dragged across the square by her hair. This coming-of-age film follows her over the years after the revolution. As the film cuts between the unfolding current events and Amal’s rapidly changing life and appearance, we see her searching for her own identity in a country in transition. Amal is fiery and fearless, sinking her teeth into the protests and constantly lecturing her mother, who works as a judge. A girl among men, she also has to fight for respect and the right to take part, both in the street and in the rest of her life. In Egypt, even for a young woman like Amal—her name means "hope"—the choices open to her for her future are limited.
