Marwa had an opportunity to leave Afghanistan with her husband and after months in a refugee camp, she reached Europe. But her father is still in Kabul and has received threats.
Raha chose to stay behind with her family. But the situation in the country kept worsening. In January 2023, with the assistance of Reporters sans frontières (RSF), Raha fled with her husband. She is now trying to help her family out.
Caroline Gillet has been recording documentaries for French national radio for the last 15 years. She started exchanging voice notes with Raha and Marwa in the days after the takeover of Kabul by Taliban. From podcast the project became an animation film.
Denis Walgenwitz is co-director of the animation film. He has previously worked on many productions with directors such as Ari Folman, or Marjane Satrapi.
Your donations has given immense relief to Marwa and Raha, the two young Afghans who shared their story for our film 'Inside Kabul'. It has enabled us to gather money to help them out of their country and finance their first weeks in Europe
It has been SO heartwarming to get your support!
