In 2021, at the time when Afghanistan is falling back under Taliban rule, the Australian filmmaker Jordan Bryon, who has been working and living in Afghanistan for over 6 years, is in the middle of transitioning. Working for the New York Times, he documents the daily life of the Islamist and trans-hostile Taliban, despite this presenting him with a moral dilemma of his own. The film follows Jordanʼs journey, as he paradoxically gains more freedom as he transitions, while deftly chronicling the increasing oppression of women as the Taliban transitions to power. The documentary shows his reporting in an up-close and moving manner and offers an intimate insight into the emotional process of his gender reassignment.
The film will be followed by a Q&A with the director and main protagonist Jordan Bryon
