Sinopse
Malalai Joya is a 28 year old Afghani woman who in 2005 ran inher country's first democratic parliamentary election in over 30 years. A survivor of repeated assassination attemps. She spreads her message surrounded by guards. How do you introduce democracy in a country where almost everyone is illiterate, votes are for sale and women cannot leave their children to vote? As the film eloquently remind us, it takes more than Western soldiers and diplomats. Joya is a controversial voice for a nation ruined by war and ruled by tradition, and a voice with a desperate urge for change.
