Bread &Roses, the documentary produced by Jennifer Lawrence and Malala Yousafzai, and directed by Sahra Mani, which chronicles the resistance of Afghan women against the Taliban, will be available to stream shortly. The digital streaming rights of the docu feature, which premiered at the Cannes International Film Festival in 2023, had been picked up by Apple Original Films earlier this year, and now, the streamer has set a date for when it will be available.
A little while ago, a trailer of Bread & Roses was released, which follows the events of Afghanistan’s 2021 fall to the Taliban, after US and UK forces withdrew from the country. Sahra Mani’s film is based on the perspective of three courageous Afghani women, who, despite the threat to their lives, resist the Taliban’s efforts to rid them of the autonomy they’d enjoyed until then. According to the trailer, Bread & Roses will begin streaming on November 22.
The official synopsis of the documentary reads, “Bread & Roses offers a powerful window into the seismic impact that the fall of Kabul to the Taliban in 2021 had on women’s rights and livelihoods. The film follows three women in real time as they fight to recover their autonomy. Sahra Mani captures the spirit and resilience of Afghan women through a raw depiction of their harrowing plight.”
The documentary also examines the fight against closing of schools for girls. Director Sahra has been quoted as saying that keeping these schools open is vital as children of educated mothers are difficult to indoctrinate and are less susceptible to becoming their future soldiers.
Bread & Roses is the latest addition to Apple Original documentary films, which also includes Academy Award winner Davis Guggenheim’s STILL: A Michael J. Fox Movie, Emmy Award-nominated Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me, among others.
