Rethink Afghanistan is a ground-breaking documentary by Brave New Films, that focuses on the what is really happening in Afghanistan as a result of US policy.
Part 5 of the film, just released online, explores the often-touted “liberation” of Afghan women and war’s disproportionate toll on women and their families. A member of RAWA was interviewed for this film, alongside Afghan Women’s Mission Co-Director Sonali Kolhatkar and many women’s rights advocates. Parts 1-4 can be viewed at www.rethinkafghanistan.com.
Brave New Films has partnered with RAWA to provide direct aid to refugee families displaced by the war. Earlier efforts helped raise $6,000 for emergency aid. $9000 more is needed. Please watch this short film and make a donation to RAWA to help them provide basic necessities to the refugees.
