Kino Weltsichten: Maydegol

In the organizer's words:

This moving documentary by Sarvnaz Alambeigi tells the story of 19-year-old Maydegol and her dream of succeeding as a Thai boxer on the Afghan national team. The young refugee leads a precarious life in Iran, works on a fruit and mushroom plantation and is exposed to various forms of discrimination and violence on a daily basis. With her sport, she not only wants to succeed in the ring, but also to overcome life's difficulties. This film tells an individual story, but is also representative of a young generation of Afghan women who will not give up fighting for a just life.

Free admission.

Recommended for ages 14 and up.

The film will be shown in the original language (Farsi, Dari) with subtitles.

Understanding, openness and coming into contact with people of different nationalities and origins are the motifs for the film series Kino Weltsichten. People with and without an international history, women with refugee experience, their families and anyone interested in excellent, often rarely shown international films directed by women are cordially invited to attend.
