Description

"As the Taliban take control, members of 'Zohra', Afghanistan's first all-female orchestra, wonder what's next for their music and rights as women.

I first filmed with the musicians of Zohra orchestra from Afghanistan's National Institute of Music in 2019 while on their UK tour, this piece filmed just days after the Taliban takeover of Kabul via Zoom, tells their story."
