​4:30 pm April 1st  Facing The Dragon, AFGHANISTAN, 82min. 

Afghan-American filmmaker Sedika Mojadidi follows two extraordinary Afghan women, a politician and a journalist, to examine what is happening to women as American troops and international aid pull out of Afghanistan. Through Sedika’s perspective, we see how women on the front lines struggle to keep their rights and their families safe in a country where lawlessness and violence are only increasing.

"Extremely moving documentary: in the middle of taliban attacks, threats on their lives we follow two women and their families, a journalist and a member of parliament.  Stay and face the danger and serve or leave the country, they choose opposite paths. "
