When Pomegranates Howl is a 2020 Afghan-Australian drama film written and directed by Iranian-born Australian filmmaker Granaz Moussavi.

[4] Based on real events, the film tells the story of Hewad, a nine-year-old boy who lives on the streets in the capital of Afghanistan - Kabul.

Following the loss of both his father and brother, Hewad decides to create a business by working as a cart pusher, which he enjoys doing every day.

By working as such, and loading the carts with goods, he travels throughout Kabul in the hope to raise enough money for his family.

This sad news, prompted the director to write a script about a (back then) nine-year-old boy named Hewad.
