Crossers may be interested in this film being premiered at the Edinburgh Film Festival. In a brilliant piece of scheduling it is being shown on June the 19th - when most of those interested in cricket in the Edinburgh area will either be involved in East League matches or following the Scotland vs England match. Fortunately it's also being shown on June 17th.

Summary:
In just a few years, the Afghan cricket team has risen from obscurity in the sport’s lowest ranks to phenomenal success in the highly competitive international arena. This is the remarkable and inspirational story of coach Taj Malik Aleem and his team, who became the sport’s unlikeliest heroes during a triumphant campaign culminating in the crucial World Cup qualifier in South Africa. In a country more often associated with war and rigged elections, their incredible journey is an absolute joy to behold.
