Five years have passed since the Taliban's return to power in Afghanistan, a period marked by stringent limitations on women's lives. The National Film and Audiovisual Center is presenting two award-winning films, "Hawa's Book" and "Between Faith and Kabul," to explore these realities.

"Hawa's Book" and "Between Faith and Kabul" offer a stark look at the challenges faced by Afghan women. The Taliban's policies have severely curtailed access to education, dictated marriage terms, and restricted everyday freedoms. These cinematic works aim to bring the experiences of Afghan women into sharper focus for international audiences.

The screenings serve as a somber reminder of the ongoing situation in Afghanistan, where the Taliban's interpretation of governance continues to shape the lives of its female population. The films are expected to provoke reflection on the human cost of these policies.
