RAWA Film Showing April 10th

UNITY CINEMA AND CCA PRESENT:

View from a Grain of Sand

Shot in refugee camps of Pakistan and the war-torn city of Kabul, three remarkable Afghan women lead us through the maze of Afghanistans complex history, informing this examination of how international interventions, war and the rise of political Islam have stripped Afghan women of their freedom over the last thirty years. Combining verité footage, interviews and rare archival material, this evocative film is a harrowing, thought-provoking and movingly intimate portrait of a still divided and brutalized nation. Addressing timely issues of women, Islam, and US foreign policy, the film is a compelling and vital addition to the global dialogue of our times.

We’re also very pleased to announce that the film will be followed by a photographic display and discussion with members of RAWA Solidarity Scotland about RAWA.
