Ken Loach’s Sixteen Films Boards Elham Ehsas’ Afghan Astronaut Doc ‘Forgotten Spaceman’ The recent announcement that Ken Loach's production company, Sixteen Films, has partnered with Elham Ehsas on his documentary short "Forgotten Spaceman" is a welcome development in the world of cinema.
The film tells the story of Abdul Ahad Momand, an Afghan astronaut who traveled to the Mir space station in 1988.
At the time, Afghanistan was on the brink of collapse, and Momand's journey seemed like it could have been a turning point for the country.
