View from a Grain of Sand. Portrait of a Divided Afghanistan
Description
This is the story of how Afghan women have had their rights stripped from them over the last 30 years. Told through the eyes of three women, this film covers recent Afghan history from the point of view of those who suffered most. Too often silenced, these women share their memories, hopes, and fears with viewers. Their personal stories are combined with rarely seen archival footage to create a powerful and evocative portrait of a divided nation. Although women are officially allowed an education, at the time the Fundamentalists were in power, there is such a lack of security many would not leave their homes.
