由于美国计划于 2021 年 9 月从阿富汗撤军,加拿大籍阿富汗裔电影制片人兼记者布里什凯·艾哈迈德 (Blishkay Ahmed) 回到祖国进行拍摄。这部勇敢的纪录片聚焦首都喀布尔女性主导的新闻机构 Zan TV,揭示了女记者们承担的持续而巨大的风险。艾哈迈德本人是一名专业记者,她记录了在塔利班接管阿富汗之前的两年中,年轻女性记者的悲惨和鼓舞人心的工作。随着平行新闻故事的展开——两轮全国选举以及正在进行的美国与塔利班和平谈判——这部电影揭示了阿富汗女记者和媒体工作人员每天面临的障碍,强调了威胁 Zan TV 作为媒体渠道和女性生计的现状。它彰显了捍卫妇女权利和新闻自由的重要性。
《把我的國家還回來》帶領觀眾回顧阿富汗過去幾十年的歷史,瞭解這個國家從黃金時代到戰爭地獄的歷程。為了講述這個故事,影片中加入前所未見的歷史影像檔案,並訪談來自不同年代和背景六位女主角的親身經歷,她們的命運也反映了許多阿富汗婦女的苦難和希望。
在阿富汗衝突和權力的嚴重扭曲之下,婦女往往首當其衝、受盡磨難。她們失去了家園和家人,被剝奪了最基本的權利,被迫在隔離和逃亡之間做出選擇。但是,她們所展現出的堅韌和勇氣,卻在在彰顯出阿富汗婦女絕不甘於被當作受害者。
聆聽影片中六位主角的故事:從首位婦女事務部長到最後一位共產黨總統的女兒、從1972年的阿富汗小姐到塔利班時期被逼著男扮女裝的生存。顯然,這些婦女毋寧更該被稱為阿富汗歷史的女英雄。她們可能也是國家未來的最佳資源,或可為阿富汗結束這個漫長的黑暗和暴力時代。
