		In many scenes, Barmak, in the director's seat, intensely employs method acting techniques with Marina, having her express profound emotions by probing her to recall the many misfortunes of her short life: the death of her older sisters, missile attacks, nights of hunger.
		By digging into personal experiences, Marina expresses those emotions in character and becomes the stronghold in an intensely realistic film that depicts the tragedy of a nation.
		Marina is a television style documentary produced by Japanese television company NHK and was featured at the Chicago and Seattle International Documentary Film Festivals in 2004 and will hopefully go on to be featured in many more festivals and showings.

		The actress has a wonderful, quiet scene after she has been shorn of her locks in which she plants a bundle in earth as if somehow in time she will rise again; unfortunately, hers is an innocence that is forever decimated.
		While the girl disguised as a boy storyline is not original ("Yentl," "Baran"), Golbahari's sad eyes filled with confusion, fear and paranoia and soft features make her a graceful and sympathetic character and make viewers empathize with her miserable plight.
		While most of film's characters aren't nearly as developed as Golbahari's (And hers is a characterization that owes more to reaction and expressions rather than action and dialogue), the other main performance standout is Herati's as the heroic Espandi.

		Taking the firsthand view of camera turned on a women's protest demonstration, the film observes hundreds gathered, in mostly light blue burqas, wielding signs and demanding the opportunity to work.
		When the camera takes up the perspective of a 12-year-old girl (Marina Golbahari) and her mother (Zubaida Sahar), who barely escape the brunt of the men's aggression, the film locates its protagonist.
		With her father killed in "the Kabul war," and her uncle in "the Russian war," responsibility for supporting the family will soon fall to the girl.
