Screening

Afghanistan: No Country for Women

British-Iranian correspondent Ramita Navai powerfully exposes the reality of life for women under Taliban rule in Afghanistan: No Country for Women. In this documentary for ITV’s Bafta-winning Exposure strand, Navai secretly films in a jail where she discovers women being held by the Taliban without trial or charge, their fate often unknown to their families.
Ramita Navai uncovers cases of Taliban officials using violence to forcibly marry young girls, as she accompanies an underground network of female activists on dangerous missions to rescue women hunted by the Taliban and joins a women’s protest that is broken up by their security forces.
Over the course of six months, Ramita Navai investigated the Taliban’s treatment of women – and uncovered abuses that have never been reported before. Speaking Dari, one of the main languages of Afghanistan, Ramita Navai gains access to rarely visited areas undetected, gathering evidence.

Navai and director Karim Shah uncover cases of Taliban officials using violence to forcibly marry young girls. Navai also accompanies an underground network of female activits on dangerous missions to rescue women hunted by the Taliban, and joins a women’s protest that is broken up by the security forces.

Production: ITV Exposure

The screening will be followed by a question-and answer session moderated by Loïck Berrou with Ramita Navai (Director) and Claire Billet, Senior Correspondent
