SYNOPSIS
Outstretched Hands is a story about two seemingly very different groups coming together and developing a strong connection. Despite cultural, religious and other differences, a group of American soldiers and this remote village in Afghanistan formed a kinship that transcended the apparent divide. It's a compelling portrayal of human resilience, empathy, and the power of human connection.
Themes
This film is not yet rated and deals with some mature themes, such as: facing the unknown, life in combat, dealing with PTSD, looking for and finding a purpose, human rights, and perhaps most importantly… friendship and faith in each other.
What we found: we had more in common than not. This is a story about different cultures who – more than anything else – wanted to get to know and understand one another, and in doing so, forged a bond that should not be forgotten. More than that: it should be celebrated. Come join us in getting a rare glimpse of a misunderstood people in a faraway land, and understanding “the other.”
