Pascal Depuhl films his first documentary in Afghanistan.
It that started out as a still small voice whispering in photographer Pascal Depuhl’s ear. He traveled to Afghanistan in the winter of 2012 to produce what started out as a personal project, but has taken on a life of it’s own. It has won numerous awards and footage filmed in Afghanistan has aired on National Geographic, the BBC and PBS.

The men and women, who serve in Central Asia, provide air transportation and satellite communication in Afghanistan. The film tells the story of a little boy that will die, unless he can get airlifted to get the proper treatment.
Pactec also places a great emphasis in training Afghans computer and communication as well as aviation skills. Pactec provides flight service to over 200 NGOs.
