Making change in Afghanistan through film

The World

Sahar Fetrat was in high school when she first discovered the power of a camera. She had to make a short documentary for a class project about an issue that was close to her heart. She picked street harassment and quickly realized that catcalling men would be terrified the moment they found out she was filming them. Today, Sahar has made a name for herself in Afghanistan. And she wants the world to know that yes, women in her country are victimized. But they’re also fighting back.
