Contents/Summary
- Summary
- At an advanced training course, all in uniform, Afghani provincial policemen watch a film: dressed in bright red, a woman defeats arrogant machos and fights off their violent attacks with Bollywood-style martial arts. Kabul Dream Factory tells the story of an exceptional Afghani woman, Saba Sahar, who combines a career as a policewoman with one as an actress and film director as she fights for society to recognise the independence of Afghani women. The film accompanies her as she tries to bring her new film project to fruition. Meetings with potential financial backers and attempts at getting support from western aid organizations sketch out the positions of the western donors as well as internal power hierarchies. Only gradually does Sahar lift the veil of privacy. Her utopian dream of the autonomy of woman gets new urgency with the arrival of her baby daughter.
