"In 2000, Kiarostami traveled to Africa at the request of the
United Nations to document a humanitarian crisis unfolding in
Uganda, where 1.5 million children had been orphaned by civil
war and AIDS. Working outside of Iran and shooting on digital
video for the first time, he returned with this disarmingly hopeful
look at a country where death hovers ever-present yet life—
embodied by the playful spirit of the kids who peer curiously into
his camera’s searching, humane lens—flows on undiminished.
Part idiosyncratic travelogue, part ode to childhood wonder, ABC
Africa is quintessential Kiarostami in its movingly philosophical
reflection on human resilience in the face of adversity."
