Bread & Roses

In the wake of the Taliban's return to power, a group of Kabul women lead a revolutionary fight for their rights—and their lives—against the brutal autocratic rule of the regime, which systematically subjugates half of Afghanistan's population to forbidden work, forced homesickness, and shuttered schools. This powerful documentary follows three women who risk everything to organize activists, protest for education, bread, and water, as they face arrest, torture, and exile. The film captures a sanitized yet unflinching look at life under Taliban rule, offering a blueprint for Afghanistan's next generation in their fight for self-determination.
