RIVERBOOM
dir. Claude Baechtold
CH, 95′

It is 2002 in Afghanistan, just after the American invasion. Three journalists – the moralist Serge, the upbeat photographer Paolo, and the film’s accidental director Claude – embark on a two-month journey. Recovering the footage that had been lost for two decades, this extraordinary documentary combines the tension of war with darkly humorous situations. Subversively employing rock and pop music, Claude Baechtold breaks the rules of war journalism.
