Povzdignjen duh, vesela tradicija: afghanski Mojster Basir Beria


HOST (IN DARI):  Welcome, spirited viewers. The beauty of a kite dancing in the sky is a sight to behold. In Afghanistan, flying kites is more than just a favorite pastime but a time-honored, popular cultural tradition.
A soaring kite is like the carefree spirit of the Afghan heart. Today we will meet a fabulous kite master from Afghanistan, Mr. Basir Beria, who lives in Los Angeles, USA.

He devotes his free time to teaching others how to fly a kite. His fine handmade kites are exhibited at the Kite Museum in Washington DC, USA.

In addition, Mr. Beria helped to create the Golden Globe and Oscar-nominated Hollywood film, “The Kite Runner,” which showed Mr. Beria’s splendid kites and thus introduced the world to this Afghan sport and culture.

In his personal life, the simple act of flying a kite could relieve his deepest sorrow and give him peace. Mr. Basir Beria has a pure, undivided love for kites.
