At the height of the international occupation of Afghanistan, Gulnaz and Farida 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. These two courageous women fight 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 (including this documentary) forever alters the course of their lives.

"An unvarnished and increasingly haunting portrayal of inequality perpetuated by men, women and the governing systems of not only the east but the west as well. The nuances of the story are very well-captured, and sometimes everything is expressed loud and clear in the subjects' faces as well as their words." – BendFilm Team
