Homeland: A Special Screening and Conversation About Afghanistan, One Year After the Taliban Takeover and U.S. Withdrawal

Many Afghans have fled the return of Taliban rule. But Zahrah Nabi, determined to fight for her rights, decided to stay. Homeland, a new Voice of America short documentary, offers a rare glimpse into the life and dreams of a woman who chose to stand her ground, no matter the consequences. This event, hosted in partnership with VOA, will feature a special screening of Homeland followed by a panel discussion about the documentary, and about Afghanistan in the year since the Taliban takeover and U.S. withdrawal.

Please note this is an online event. Those that wish to ask a question to the panelists can send it to asia@wilsoncenter.org or tweet it to @AsiaProgram
