No Burqas Behind Bars is a 2012 Swedish feature-length documentary film made by Maryam Ebrahimi and Nima Sarvestani on life in a women's prison in Afghanistan.
Through the prisoners’ own stories, the film explores how "moral crimes" are used to control women in Afghanistan.
The film shows that women fleeing from their husbands get a longer punishment than those who have committed murder.
[1][2] Outside the home, burqas cover the women of Afghanistan from head to toe, masking their identity, making them faceless and voiceless in society, except when they are in prison.
Najibeh, Latife, and many more names – they all carry stories that show the inner strength and dignity of the human being when she faces obscene living conditions.
