I decided to begin watching foreign films about other cultures and other people around the world. I lived overseas from the USA for 13 years, and loved getting to know so many wonderful people. I love to see these stories from people who share from their hearts. Join me in watching these wonderful films.

Daughters of Afghanistan
DAUGHTERS OF AFGHANISTAN
Made in Afghanistan
by Robin Benger (From Canada)
2003
This true story is a report of 5 different women living in Afghanistan. Journalist Sally Armstrong takes us to their homes and shows us the life that they live.
When I see the cruelty of the Taliban toward women, I want to help in any way I can. Ms. Armstrong helps us see that the isolation of women does not promote growth, education, nor vigor of life. How can these women ever reach their God-given potential, if they do not have the freedom to be who they should be? What a tragedy and rape of the family this country is in. Women cannot even show their faces in public while we in America have so much. Even the leadership of this country, according to the film, bends it's ear to the tole of the Islamic Sharia Law. Anyone can see that this isolation and oppression of women has gone too far for far too long.
