16 Days in Afghanistan is a 2007 documentary film about the journey of Afghan-American Anwar Hajher, also the director, traveling to his homeland Afghanistan after 25 years living abroad, to rediscover his country. The film is produced by Mithaq Kazimi and is the first documentary since the fall of Taliban to be shot in those provinces which remain under the heavy influence of the Taliban. The film became a reference film on Afghanistan, including Penguin Books' study guides about Afghan-related books.
It was selected as part of the first Afghan art exhibit show in the British Museum opened by then Afghan president Hamid Karzai.
