Synopsis
Though Afghan women are no longer prisoners in their homes after the ouster of the Taliban, the country’s destabilization after years of war has prevented many poor women from obtaining education. For children like Mina this means the responsibility to work in order to support her family. So she wanders Kabul’s streets selling cheap trinkets to feed her Alzheimer’s stricken grandfather and her heroin-addicted father. But Mina wants to be normal, so she secretly attends classes -- a decision that sets in motion a chain of events that change her life forever.
Director
After studying film and philosophy at Toronto’s York University and Humber College, Yosef Baraki wrote and directed his fifth short film, Der Kandidat, winner of the Norman McLaren Award at the 44th Student Film Festival of the 2013 MWFF, and the Best International Short Film Award at the Afghanistan Human Rights Film Festival. MINA WALKING marks his directorial debut in features.
