Bread & Roses (15)
Directed by Sahra Mani

AS women in the US are having their health rights eroded, in Afghanistan, under the Taliban dictatorship, women are banned from working, getting an education, walking or travelling in a taxi on their own, singing or listening to music and they cannot even talk outside their homes. 

The stark realities for Afghan women living in this so-called gender apartheid are shown in Afghan director Sahra Mani’s powerful and harrowing documentary which follows three women in real time as they secretly filmed guerilla-style their day-to-day plight and fight against the regime.
