We have all of this,

we've lost many men.

We'll lose more men if we go there.

I don't need many men.

What is it you want to do?

I need two men to lead

me to the minefield,

and two to help to escape.

If this is done, Soviets

will come here like before,

and more people will die.

I can't wait.

You must wait for help the way we wait.

- Then I'll go alone.

- And you will die!

Then I'll die.

Wait!

Please don't go.

My name is Masoud.

You must not judge us,

before you understand why

we are not directed to help.

Most of the Afghan

people are very strong,

and we are determined not

to be driven from our land.

Our children die of disease,

mines, and poison gas.

And our women are raped and killed.

Last year, in the valley of

Legman, the next valley,

Pregnant women were cut with bayonets,

and their babies thrown into the fire.

This is done, so they will not have to

fight the next generation of Afghans.

Yet nobody sees anything, or

reads anything in the papers.

What you see here,

are the Mujahedin soldiers,

holy warriors.

To us, this war is a holy war.

And there is no true

death for a Mujahedin,

because we have taken our last nights,

and because we consider us already dead.

To us, death for our

land and God is an honor.

So, my friend,

what we must do is to stop this

killing of our women and children.

If getting this man free,

so he can tells to the free world, and

tell what happens here, is necessary

then of course we will help.

Leave us now, so we may

speak among ourselves

and find the best way to free this man.

- Thank you.

- We thank you.

Don't worry, they will decide soon.

- We got to leave tonight.

- What is your name?

This boy is very hard inside.

His parents were killed last year.

His brother died in the

fort where the American is.

He looks like a boy, but

he fights like a man.

- What's your name?

- Rambo.

- Where are you from?

- Arizona.

Arizona? How much days walk?

About two years.

Two years...

- Are you a soldier?

- No more.

I am a soldier. Are you here to fight?

- No.

- Are you scared?

What is this?

It's a knife.

- Can I see this?

- Sure.

Very good. Can I have it?

No.

- What is this?

- You want everything!

- This is for luck.

- What is luck?

Luck is...

Can I have it? I need luck.

So do I!

What a child! Always like this.

Look there! It's our national sport.

An old, insane game,

maybe 3.000 years old!

Look, they never stop playing.

War or not war, they don't mind.

- You like it?

- I'll take football.

What is football? You

play it with the foot?

Not really.

Come on, let's go!

- What are they saying?

- They want you to try.

It's a way to them for you to be with
