No Burqas Behind Bars

'No Burqas Behind Bars' provides a rare glimpse inside one of the most restrictive places on the planet, Takhar Prison in Afghanistan. Its 40 women inmates, crammed into just four cells, live their lives entirely cut off from outside society. A society so oppressive that many of the women feel more free inside the prison than outside. Their stories are deeply compelling and are a testament to the strength and dignity of the human will in the face of obscene conditions.
