Homeland: A Special Screening and Conversation About Afghanistan, One Year After the Taliban Takeover and U.S. Withdrawal
Event Sponsor
Overview
Many Afghans have fled the return of Taliban rule. But Zahrah Nabi, determined to fight for her rights, decided to stay. Homeland, a new Voice of America short documentary, offers a rare glimpse into the life and dreams of a woman who chose to stand her ground, no matter the consequences. This event, hosted in partnership with VOA, will feature a special screening of Homeland followed by a panel discussion about the documentary, and about Afghanistan in the year since the Taliban takeover and U.S. withdrawal.
