00:55Getting access has been difficult.

00:59Getting visa, being able to navigate through the country, dealing with the Taliban and

01:04getting the right permission to do this.

01:06But also, a lot of these women, they are risking a lot to be in front of our cameras to speak

01:11to us.

01:12And their safety has always had the highest priority for us, to make sure they're in a

01:17safe space, they can speak, we protect their identities when it's needed, and also make

01:22sure they understand where this work is going to be shown and how they're going to be portrayed.

01:29These were some of the challenges we faced.
