Nima Sarvestani, Sweden, 2013, 77’, Color

No Burqas Behind Bars is a slice of life documentary shot 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. Their
stories are deeply compelling and are a testament to the strength and dignity of the
human will in the face of obscene conditions.
