After the United States and coalition troops announced they would withdraw their forces from Afghanistan in 2021, the subsequent collapse of the government and the rise of the Taliban have left the people of Afghanistan in fear of the future in a country that has suffered seemingly endless cycles of violence. Four extraordinary and brave women leaders, whose work in politics and social justice has already earned them international recognition, rise together, determined to fight for women’s rights under the new government. Fatima Gailani, Fawzia Koofi, Habiba Sarabi and Sharifa Zumati risk their lives and receive death threats, but even this will not stop them as they find their way to sit at the negotiating table with the Taliban to ensure justice for women. With remarkable access, this film by award-winning Afghan director Roya Sadat is a powerful example of advocacy, relentless leadership and courage in the fight for women’s rights—and of women supporting each other.
