The Giant Buddhas
In 1991, the Taliban destroyed a pair of legendary Afghanistan statues. Stemming from that somber premise, Christian Frei’s documentary delves down some surprising avenue in its ruminations on terrorism and intolerance, including a quest for the long-rumored third statue and the blackly comic attempts to sneak a replica past security forces.
