☞THE MOVIE: 

“In the year following the terrorist attacks of 9/11, young journalist Claude Baechtold finds himself in the war zone of Afghanistan. Not entirely voluntarily, the self-confessed anti-militarist from French-speaking Switzerland is dragged on a tour of the entire country by two fearless reporters. Equipped with a video camera he bought at a bazaar in Kabul, he follows them for two months on a daring journey. With impressive archive footage that was until recently thought lost, Baechtold captures in his humorous road movie doc how he inadvertently becomes a war reporter and is able thereby to deal with his own personal strokes of fate.” – Synopsis

“Riverboom is the wild odyssey of three young war reporters in the chaotic aftermath of 9/11 in Afghanistan. A thrilling road movie, it’s a tragicomic documentary full of humor and self-deprecation.”
