Told by an American journalist, this is the inspirational story of Kamila Sidiqi, a young woman living in Kabul in a time of war.? Kamila was teaching at a local school when the Taliban seized control in 1996. What followed was a terrifying time for all the citizens of Kabul, especially the women. The Taliban decreed that all women must remain at home and only leave the house fully covered in a chadri and accompanied by the male of the house. Many women found themselves isolated and unable to support their families.
To support her five brothers and sisters, Kamila secretly started a dressmaking business. ?Under extremely dangerous conditions, while adherring to the repressive rules of the Taliban, Kamila successfully grew her tailoring business to support her family and up to 100 other women.
A compelling true story of a young woman who finds herself faced with incredible hardship, and how she reinvents herself for the betterment of her family and dozens of other women and their families.
