Najiba Noori
film070 and Project4Equality present: Writing Hawa
Forty years after a childhood marriage, Hawa begins to claim her independence—only to see her hard-won dreams, and those of her daughter and granddaughter, shattered by the Taliban’s return.
On Wednesday February 11th (19.00h), Film070 welcomes @ Project4Equality again for a screening of Writing Hawa.
Filmed over a five-year period, Writing Hawa tells the story of three generations of women from a single family in Afghanistan. Director Najiba Noori delivers a loving and intimate portrait of her own family, her mother, Hawa, and her cousin, Zahra, in their quest to emancipate themselves from patriarchal traditions as they navigate a new era of struggle in Afghanistan. This film offers a rare insight into a Hazara family's life under the Taliban and captures the aspirations and struggles of women fighting for their right to a future.
Project4Equality, or P4E, is an intersectional, trans-inclusionary, and de-colonial feminist collective in The Hague. This screening will be followed by a discussion with members from P4E and Film070.
We hope to see you there!
