Jennifer Lawrence and Malala Yousafzai shed light on Afghan women's fight for freedom in new film
CBSN
A powerful new documentary is exposing the harsh realities faced by women in Afghanistan under Taliban rule. The film, "Bread and Roses," is directed by Afghan filmmaker Sahra Mani, produced by Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence and executive produced by Nobel laureate Malala Yousafzai.
Mani details the grim reality faced by millions of women in Afghanistan under Taliban rule, which drew the attention of Lawrence in 2021.
"My first reaction when watching that was to do what the Taliban did not want us to do, which was give access and facilities to the people on the ground to capture what was happening on the ground in real-time," she said. "Because obviously the Taliban flourishes in secrecy."
