Visiting filmmaker Ian Olds in attendance for Q&A
FIXER: THE TAKING OF AJMAL NAQSHBANDI follows the relationship between an
Afghan interpreter and his client, American journalist Christian Parenti. This intimate
portrait of two colleagues shifts dramatically when Ajmal is kidnapped along with an
Italian reporter. The situation goes from bad to worse as foreign powers pressure for
fast results, the Afghan government bungles its response and the specter of Taliban
power looms in the background. What follows is the tragic story of one man forgotten
in the crossfire: a brutal allegory of the proud land and perilous misadventure that is
Afghanistan.
