"The gardeners of Kabul" represents BBC's Documentary series at its absolute best. Following the stories of the brave Afghan people putting their lives at peril to maintain their beloved gardens - the very symbols of their resolve to lead existence free from fear is undoubtedly one of the most inspiring stories about Afghanistan I have ever seen. It’s one of those documentaries that make you believe that there is still a flicker of hope for this world, when there are individuals ready to persevere even in face of the biggest adversities conceivable.The world would have been a much better place if more people could only believe that their perseverance can change lives of their own and of people around them.
