Directed by Ben Sturgulewski, the doc follows former Afghan Olympic hopeful Alishah Farhangm as he brings together athletes of all ages and abilities from neighboring and often divided villages in the ancient Afghanistan mountain town of Bamyan to form a competitive ski community. An Oscar-qualifying theatrical run for “Champions of the Golden Valley” will begin on Oct. 31 in Los Angeles.
“Champions of the Golden Valley” is a moving and timely story about what joy and unity look like when everything else is falling apart,” Yousafzai said in a statement. “I’m proud to support this film and the young people whose courage and spirit it so beautifully captures.”
Moayed added, “Champions of the Golden Valley” resonates because it’s a story about people who refuse to stop dreaming.
