Kamay

Afghanistan Belgien Deutschland Frankreich 2023/2024 Dokumentarfilm

Summary

Zahra was the first in her family to study in Kabul and researched the significance of the kamay plant as an animal feed used by the mountain farmers of Hazarajat. Her suicide hit her parents and siblings hard. In their grief, they fight against a thicket of discrimination, harassment and infringements of justice. In quiet, poetic and monumental images, "Kamay" tells the story of an unknown side of Afghanistan.
