After the fall of Kabul to the Taliban, filmmakers Victor J. Blue and Ross McDonnell returned to Afghanistan to film a documentary about women’s rights under the Taliban. Granted rare access to a Sharia court in Helmand Province, their film Swift Justice follows the story of a Afghan widow fighting for her rights in the Taliban’s heartland. The film was nominated for two Emmy awards, in the Outstanding Short Documentary and Outstanding Cinematography in Documentary categories.

Join Victor J. Blue, editor Kate Emerson and producer Paul Moakley of The New Yorker for a screening of the film, including deleted scenes. A panel discussion and audience Q&A will follow the screening.
