Nel. Return to Kabul
Description
Twenty-one-year-old Nel has lived in Britain since she was six, after her family fled Afghanistan's violence and oppression. She has always felt a strong connection with her native country and longs to know what her life would have been like had she grown up there. This film tells the intimate and moving story of Nel's return to Afghanistan on a quest for answers. In Kabul, she sees the face of the country with her own eyes and through those of her cousin-who, despite being one of a handful of female lecturers at Kabul University, accepts the fact that her marriage will be arranged. Outside the capital, behind the closed doors of hospital wards and prisons, Nel discovers a world of extreme violence against women and gains a new understanding of why her family decided to leave.
