ABOUT THE SHOW

Filmed across two turbulent years, In Her Hands tells the story of Zarifa Ghafari, who at 26 became one of Afghanistan’s first female mayors and the youngest to ever hold the position. The film documents her fight for survival against the backdrop of her country’s accelerated unraveling. As Western forces announce their retreat and the Taliban start their sweep back to power, Zarifa and women across the country face a new reality. Amid these tectonic changes, Zarifa must make the most difficult decision of her life.

The screening will be followed by a conversation with directors Tamana Ayazi & Marcel Mettelsiefen.

Viewing instructions will be sent to the provided email just prior to the scheduled start time. The film will be available until midnight, Sunday, October 16.
