"Bread & Roses" follows Zahra, Sharifa and Taranom, three women in Afghanistan who are fighting back against the deprivation of their basic rights after the Taliban took power in 2021. Sahra Mani edited the documentary from cell phone videos that the three women shot and sent to her from collective house arrest. "Bread & Roses" premiered at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival and won the prestigious 2024 Peabody Award.
Sahra Mani, who herself comes from Afghanistan and now lives in exile, won the Peabody Award for "Bread and Roses" and was nominated for an Emmy:"I thought as a filmmaker, I have to raise their voice. I have to do something."--said director Sahra Mani at the Peabody Award ceremony about her idea for "Bread & Roses". She was able to persuade Hollywood star Jennifer Lawrence to produce the documentary. Sahra Mani's first feature film "A Thousand Girls Like Me" has won 25 international awards. LaDOC has a long-standing friendship with Sahra Mani. LaDOC has already shown "A Thousand Girls Like Me" as Solikino in Cologne in 2022.
Theresa Breuer has been reporting from the Middle East and Central Asia as a journalist and filmmaker for over ten years. After working in Cairo, Israel and Beirut, she moved to Kabul in 2017 to make a film about the first female Afghan mountaineers. When the Taliban invaded Kabul in August 2021, Theresa and a group of volunteers decided to help the young women and other people who had resisted the Taliban to escape. When the international forces withdrew, Theresa flew to Kabul to coordinate the rescue mission. Her "Kabul Airlift" initiative has brought over 4,000 people safely to Germany.
