Afghanistan

In this powerful and inspiring documentary, Afghan filmmaker Najiba Noori documents repression by the Taliban and resistance to it across three generations of women in her family.

Laili, a 21-year-old Afghan woman who has been educated and has never had to wear a veil, must now go to her local Chadari seller to purchase her first full body veil.

Leila is a charming 64-year-old transgender woman who is permanently navigating and negotiating her place in an antagonistic world, just before the Taliban retake control of Afghanistan.

Akbar, Soori, Mohammed and Hakim, the children of Afghan parents who fled to Iran in the 1980s, have formed a rock band. Despite the danger they will face, they dream of performing in Afghanistan.
