Forgotten Spaceman

Overview

Abdul Ahad Momand traveled to the Mir space station in 1988 as Afghanistan neared collapse – a moment of brief national hope that has since been largely scrubbed from public memory. Filmmaker Elham Ehsas weaves archival footage with personal history to trace that legacy and surface his own connection to Momand’s journey.
