How do you make a film about Afghan women protesters without being in Afghanistan?
Briefly

Sahra Mani's 'Bread & Roses' utilizes cell phone footage and archival videos to highlight the courage of Afghan women resisting the Taliban's oppression amidst escalating dangers.
The film powerfully captures the lives of three activists fighting for their rights in a country where their freedoms are rapidly diminishing, showcasing their resilience.
Inspired by the protests’ slogan 'Naan, Kar, Azaadi', Mani's work draws parallels with the early U.S. women's suffrage movement, emphasizing the universal struggle for women's rights.
Despite severe restrictions and risks including imprisonment and torture, Afghan women continue to protest against the Taliban, representing the last vestige of civil resistance in Afghanistan.
