Description
Mary, a beautiful young Afghan woman who wanted to become a doctor, looked forward to starting medical school. But she soon left Kabul University after suffering discrimination because of her gender. Following the collapse of her education, she resolved to become a journalist and to document the suppressed lives of Afghanistan's women. In a video-diary-styled commentary, Mary narrates her fascinating journey. Viewers' hearts go out to her as she shows no fear in directly challenging the bigotry she finds - and in so doing puts herself into significant danger. This program reveals that, since the liberation of the country from the Taliban, little has changed for Afghan women outside of Kabul.
