The Women of Afghanistan

What's it like living in one of the hardest countries in the world to be a woman?

“There’s two things that surprise anyone who visits Afghanistan, one is the beauty of the country, and the other is the strength and resilience of the Afghan women” - James Glancy

In this exclusive deleted scene from Afghanistan, director James Glancy discusses the incredible women he met in the country and the brutal reality of their lives under the Taliban.

He also speaks with Zarifa Ghafari, one of the country's few female mayors and a survivor of three assassination attempts. Sadly, it is now too dangerous for Zarifa to live in her homeland.
