I think the purpose of the film was to educate Westerners as to the effects of the not only the Taliban, but, somewhat more vaguely, the effects of the Soviet occupation. It was not designed to make gobs of money. When money enters the equation, then they must include those things for which teenage boys expect to see: naked women, violence, and language. I picked this one up from our local library. That it was not available in the local video stores is a shame.
