Screening Event: We Are Ayenda

A screening event of the short film "We Are Ayenda," which recreates the realities of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021, through the eyes of the Afghan Youth Women’s National Football team. The film focuses on Farkhunda Muhtaj, the former captain and humanitarian activist, as well as the members of the women’s youth team, as she leads the team to safety without ever meeting them, only using WhatsApp to help them escape.

The purpose of the screening event is to provide law students with some insight into the humanitarian issues that may exist around the world as well as reasons why some groups of people flee their country and seek asylum in the United States.
