An extraordinary story of resistance, rebellion and struggle by the women of Afghanistan. Women have been absent and silent in much of the mainstream coverage on the war in Afghanistan. RAWA, the Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan, have been fighting for women's rights in their country for several years. The video camera has been one of their strongest weapons against the Taliban and others who have abused the rights of women. SILENT SCREAM shows some of RAWA's footage taken clandestinely over the years and allows these women to tell their stories. Produced and Directed by the Emmy nominated film-maker Zab Chughtai whose credits include the award winning BBC documentary THE KORAN & THE KALASHNIKOV.
Distributor - BBC
