public, sparks protest across the country. but even so, more and more women are disappearing from public spaces. almost all afghan women share the experience that men determine what goes on in their own lives. being a woman in such a traditional and potter call society and especially an independent woman, it is, it is not easy. it was that one of the biggest, the struggles that i, i had under the taliban. she risked her life now. she wants to support those who have not yet managed to escape. she makes a call to cobble vas yet, what is the situation the women go outside or not at all? how are they being treated moment as flight or should they me not that are unfortunately, i no longer have any optimism at all. i see to produce is an artist and former

director of the legendary arrianna in cobble the 2nd notice cinema in the country. as guns foresaw christening by the last that was my brother and i left home to get something important just on my on my panel all happened. i mean, oh boy, the shot of my brother was driving them and i was in the back of the car about a month ago about the key as phenomena in the senate. in the taliban stopped us and questioned my brother in law, which that they asked who he was taking with him. my mom thought was, well, he said this is my sister with them. but the taliban replied, yes. how do i know if that is your sister or some one else? yes, she drew yakima before the holiday, sep yennie, yet not even a brother and sister. i have the right to go out or buy anything without being

bothered to our town. a woman has no right to have a job, and so she has to stay close to home for now. why was she has to do the cooking and housework? there was nothing else, but i hate soft promises to help us eat a flea afghanistan. they plan to stay in touch with royal so that can relate to a seat is experiences of living under the taliban. she often encountered resistance in her family as well. it was very hard, but when my father turned to the stand by the i'm doing and of my uncle for a long time. he don't came to our home because when i go for shooting i miss a lot can, can the courage to make films against all odds was depicted in this documentary

from 2008 shot by spanish director alba. so taura, it tells how royal saddam explores and breaks through the narrow limits of patriarchal society. but on one side of on the letter it didn't even get them under him. it was in the ghetto, as in lima called mommy. honey, how did he turned on, or she had already given him a bush and bush and they're gonna get in on a little. i thought of them all the max of a highly muscular by the zone to hold them on the quantity with those among. but it normally doesn't pay the so my, the disease megan and says, man, roy, saddam and the albatross have since been closely connected privately and professionally to day cetera is the co producer of set us new film. a forgotten history. filming on location in afghanistan had to be cancelled for giving up is out of the question that he said that he saw for the final shooting wanted because we also have the ocean mission in

cinemas closed and november 2021. decree prohibits the television, screening of films and series featuring women, or any content, the contradictory a law, the only propaganda videos produce. now, even though most afghan directors have now left the country, their strongest works of the past 2 decades remain. i can cinema lives on abroad as seen here at the do hawk international film festival in the tunnel region of kurdistan. it's a refuge because who is subject to oppression and censorship. in many countries. cinema plays a special role here as a sign of solidarity. the festival dedicates a separate section to cinema. amy is also showing the latest film have seen i'm on is some how are we going to fight against the blue tale to the

program also includes award in kurdish productions such as the opening film political, a deep insight into a rocky society, marked by patriarchal structures. and corruption and noting anyhow, the president of the international jury is one of the most important directors in afghan film history. ah, begin to just see the boy more boston or cinema undoubtedly reflects all events that we experience. it mirrors our lives larger. that's why afghan cinema, as well as kurdish cinema tells about the deep pain of the population throughout history was uprooted. when he spoke with his most successful film bar, mac will count the dramatic ease during the taliban. his 1st reign of terror in the late ninety's ninety's. he used emma to actors, women were not allowed to work or leave the house alone at this time. those without my family members risk starvation. a single mother has no choice but to disguise
