“From the Afghan People for Americans” is about the progress the people of Afghanistan have made in overcoming the social ills that have impeded their country’s development, particularly the oppression of women and the denial of education to girls. The primary voices in the documentary are those of the Afghan people, who speak for themselves and their country throughout the film.
"With one month's notice I got my visa and bought my ticket to Kabul. It was November 2017, I packed a small suitcase, a backpack full of camera gear along with my tripod and I was on my way to one of the most dangerous counties in the world for women." - Esther Hyneman
