Summaries

With This Breath I Fly presents an intimate portrait of two courageous Afghan women fighting for their freedom after being imprisoned for moral crimes, while exposing the complicity of the European Union in censoring their voices.

At the height of the international occupation of Afghanistan, two women - Gulnaz, raped and impregnated by her uncle, and Farida, on the run from an abusive husband - are imprisoned on charges of "moral crimes" by an Afghan justice system that is supported by billions of dollars of aid money from the European Union. With This Breath I Fly follows these two courageous women fighting for their freedom against a patriarchal Afghan society, while exposing the complicity of the European Union in censoring their voices, and how the international press - and our documentary - forever alters the course of their lives.
