The documentary follows her campaign to become a delegate in Wolesi Jirga, or the National Assembly. It is the first democratic parliamentary election in Afghanistan in over 30 years. Surrounded by security, Malalai Joya spreads her political beliefs despite continuous death threats. There have been four attempts against her life.
It all began in 2003, when Afghani politicians met to lay the foundation for a democracy in the "new" Afghanistan. At this meeting, she challenged former Mujahidin leaders (warlords) who she believed were trying to maintain power through the new system. But since that fateful day, her life has been in danger. |

The woman that BBC termed "Afghanistan's most famous female" – Malalai Joya. She came under international spotlight in 2003 when, as a new member of Afghanistan's constituent assembly, she took the opportunity to lambaste for three minutes her military-origin colleagues: "Those who destroy the country and oppress women should be put on trial at the international tribunal." Two years later, she became the first woman in the country's 35-year history of parliamentary elections to run for a seat. follows the final 10 days of election when she presses on in her campaign despite terrorist threats from her military-origin colleagues. The "ten-day record" of this campaign is at once a record of the everyday struggles within the <¸»¶ó¶óÀÌ region and a record of the many dimensions of Afghan society. Through the diverse characters who populate this film, one can catch a glimpse of the unrelenting war and poverty, and the multi-layers of Afghan women¡¯s oppression, including traditional customs and rules. One woman's courageous struggle to win rights for women and create democratic spaces in the interstices of a country suffering from ten years of imperial penetration and the iron-fisted control of a military government imbue the film with moments of dignified strength and triumph.
