Anahita - A Mother's Journey

ANAHITA - A MOTHER'S JOURNEY tells the story of an Afghan refugee who evacuated Kabul in August 2021 with her five children. The documentary details her harrowing escape from Afghanistan and the beginning of her new life with her family in Minneapolis. Anahita was a police officer in Kabul who fled after being tipped-off that the Taliban was looking for her. Unfortunately, her husband didn't make it out of Afghanistan. In this hour-long documentary, Anahita recounts her escape from Afghanistan: getting to the airport, climbing over barbed wire fencing, nearly being shot by the Taliban, and trying to keep her children safely by her side throughout the ordeal. The film follows Anahita and her children as they settle into a new home with the help of a sponsor, Amy, and cope with the challenges of living in a new country without familiar support systems or knowledge of the language. With Amy's help, Anahita works to raise her children, learn English, and build a strong future for her family in the United States.
