History of love in Afghanistan. Author
José Pardal. In the heart of Kabul,

2
00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:21.280
Afghanistan was born a story of unbreakable
love between Farid and Amir. Farid,

3
00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:25.559
a young doctor, carried with him
the weight of the expectations of his

4
00:00:25.679 --> 00:00:30.519
family and conservative society. Amir,
on the other hand, was a human

5
00:00:30.519 --> 00:00:34.840
rights activist fighting for equality and justice
in a country dominated by conflict and oppression.

6
00:00:37.240 --> 00:00:42.159
Faris and Amir met at a medical
clinic where Farit worked as a volunteer.

7
00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:47.119
From the moment they saw each other, they felt an instant connection as

8
00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:51.799
if fate had united them. Despite
warnings from friends and family about the dangers

9
00:00:51.799 --> 00:00:56.280
of forbidden romance, Faris and Amir
fell deeply in love with each other.

10
00:00:58.799 --> 00:01:03.079
However, in appha friendship, where
homosexuality was illegal and severely punished, his

11
00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:08.799
love was condemned from the beginning.
They were seen secretly, in hidden places,

12
00:01:08.840 --> 00:01:11.959
sharing stolen moments of happiness in the
midst of the chaos surrounding it.

13
00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:19.120
But the war and the violence soon
stood in their way. On one fateful

14
00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:25.439
day, a terrorist attack hit the
city, leaving Fariz seriously wounded. Amir,

15
00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:27.400
desperate to save his beloved, secretly
took him to a clandestine hospital,

16
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:34.400
risking his own life in the process. As Faril struggled for his life,

17
00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:38.599
Amir held on. The hope and
love they shared. He promised himself that

18
00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:44.519
he would do everything possible to protect
Farir and even if that meant facing the

19
00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:48.480
wrath of those who did not understand
his love. As Kabull plunged into chaos

20
00:01:48.519 --> 00:01:53.120
and uncertainty, Farit and Amir found
comfort and strength, one in the other.

21
00:01:55.200 --> 00:02:00.079
Together they endured violence, persecution and
loss, clinging to the promise of

22
00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:04.120
a future where they could live their
love freely, without fear or discrimination.

23
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:08.800
Its history, though marked by tragedy
and sacrifice, became a symbol of resistance

24
00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:16.560
and hope for the LGBT community in
Afghanistan and beyond. Farid and Amir showed

25
00:02:16.599 --> 00:02:21.120
that, even in the darkest moments, love can shine like a light that

26
00:02:21.199 --> 00:02:25.439
guides the way to a more just
and compassionate world. Bravo Coral Narration
