[1] The documentary is a culmination of Ghani's six years of research at Afghanistan's National Film Archive in Kabul.

[1] Ghani worked to digitise films from the archive and organised multiple screenings of these at museums and universities around the world.

At one such screening, filmmaker Latif Ahmadi learned that the footage of the April 1978 coup in Afghanistan (the Saur Revolution) was from his 1984 film Escape.

However, the film was not completed as the country was invaded by the Soviet Union in December 1979, leading to Amin's government being overthrown.

[2] The documentary consists of clips from the films, accompanied by interviews of the directors, the cast and some crew members.
