The Sharp Edge of Peace

Roya Sadat / Afghanistan / 2024 / 95 min

In one of Afghanistan’s darkest hours, four courageous women stand firm in the fight for their rights. After the withdrawal of foreign troops and the Taliban’s return to power in 2021, they risk their lives to negotiate a peace that won’t come at the price of their freedom. The talks between the Taliban and the Afghan government are complex and dangerous—this film tells the story from the perspective of the only women at the table. Everything is at stake, and with unwavering voices, they refuse to be silenced.
