A petite young Afghan wishes to change the world with pantomime and humour. Karim Asir, the Afghan Charlie Chaplin, amidst bombs and disasters, gives performances using laughter as his only weapon. On August 15th, 2021, the Taliban invaded Kabul threatening Karim with death. A difficult decision seemed inevitable. Can laughter change the world?
