With This Breath I Fly

About This Movie

With This Breath I Fly digs deep into the harsh realities faced by two Afghan women who've seen the inside of a prison for so-called ‘moral crimes.’ The tone is raw, heavy, and personal, drawing you into their world where every word feels like a battle for self-identity. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to absorb their struggles and triumphs, which feels almost meditative at times. What sets this documentary apart is its unflinching look at how the European Union plays a role in silencing these voices. The performances are nothing short of powerful, real women sharing their truth. It’s a significant piece that challenges perceptions and adds layers to the conversation around freedom and oppression.
