Dear Sara

Dear Sara © Carlota Franquesa, Lali Delgado, Mònica Molins, Patricia Franquesa

The relationship between Patricia Franquesa, the director of this documentary, and Sara, the first taxi driver in Afghanistan, is proposed to us as a story of friendship whose thread is united by the gaze before the camera, where we position ourselves as spectators, but to whom the protagonist of the documentary constantly speaks.

All the material shot in front of this strong and confident woman, who is aware of being plotting a story, is It is offered as a tribute that acquires greater impact when we know the political and social development that existed and continues to exist in Afghanistan.

Synopsis: This is an emotional portrait of Sara, Afghanistan's first female taxi driver. Spanish filmmaker Patricia Franquesa captures the strength of a powerful woman who breaks the barriers of a society marked by patriarchy. Sara has bright eyes, tireless in defending women's rights and fighting to achieve what seemed impossible. It is an inspiring story of friendship between two women full of life, a hymn to empathy and dialogue between cultures: the circular story of Sara's life story turns from fear to love and from love to fear: a testimony of a reality that no longer exists.
