2006 | 58 mins The Bold Fight for Freedom in Afghanistan's 2005 Elections
In September 2005, Afghanistan held its first parliamentary elections in 35 years. Among the candidates was Malalai Joya, a bold 27-year-old woman who had challenged corrupt warlords at the 2003 Grand Council. As Afghanistan tightens restrictions on women's freedom, Enemies of Happiness offers a powerful portrait of Joya's fight for justice, her connection with voters, and a glimpse into the resilience of Afghan women amidst war and political turmoil.
