Under Kabul's Sky (در زیر اسمان کابل)
Director: Abdul hamid mandgar and
Freshtah Rastegar
Producer: kobra kiya
‍‍Duration: 8:51 minutes
Year: 2025

In Kabul, where the Taliban have barred girls from attending university, Freshta, a young woman deprived of higher education, teaches children under six and uses photography as a means of resistance against oblivion.

Through her lens, she captures moments of oppression, hope, and resilience. But in a city where truth is a crime, every photograph carries a risk.

This documentary is a poignant and raw portrayal of a young woman fighting for light in the darkness where her choices not only shape her own fate but also give voice to a silenced generation.

Synopsis Dari/Farsi:

در کابل، جایی که طالبان دختران را از تحصیل در دانشگاه منع کرده‌اند، فرشته، زن جوانی که از تحصیلات عالی محروم است، به کودکان زیر شش سال آموزش می‌دهد و از عکاسی به عنوان وسیله‌ای برای مقاومت در برابر فراموشی استفاده می‌کند. او از طریق لنز دوربین خود، لحظاتی از ظلم، امید و تاب‌آوری را ثبت می‌کند. اما در شهری که حقیقت جرم است، هر عکسی خطری را به همراه دارد.این مستند، تصویری تکان‌دهنده و خام از زن جوانی است که در تاریکی برای نور می‌جنگد - جایی که انتخاب‌های او نه تنها سرنوشت خودش را شکل می‌دهد، بلکه به نسلی خاموش نیز صدا می‌بخشد.
