With unstoppable determination, Benjamin decided to return a year later to make a movie about those tribal regions - despite the fact that he had never actually made a film before and that it was illegal and extremely dangerous for him to do so. Warrior Poets is a riveting memoir about Benjamin's journeys to Pakistan and the making of the film.' (Publisher's blurb)
