Afghan Film Screening and Discussion: “A Letter to the President”

Released in 2017 by Afghanistan’s Roya Sadat, one of the country’s leading female directors, “A Letter to the President” explores the difficulty Afghan women face when pursuing justice, and is a testament to the country’s once-flourishing cinema scene in the period between Taliban rule. 

This free screening is followed by a discussion with Samiullah Nabipour and Sayed Zubair Hashimi, Scholar-at-Risk Fellows, Harvard University. The panel is moderated by Richard Wolf, Professor of Music and South Asian Studies, Harvard University. 

The event is co-sponsored by the Lakshmi Mittal and Family South Asia Institute and the Department of Audio, Film, and Visual Studies.
