Mina Walking

Though women are no longer prisoners in their homes after the ouster of the Taliban, the country’s destabilization after years of war in Afghanistan have reduced education to a privilege. For children like Mina this means the responsibility to work in order to support her family, thus she wanders Kabul’s streets selling cheap trinkets to get enough money to feed her Alzheimer stricken grandfather and her heroin addicted father. Her father forbids her to attend school, but she secretly attends classes. And this decision to secretly educate herself sets in motion a chain of events that change her life forever. (Festival information).
