The filmmaker follows her father, who specializes in women's medicine, back to Afghanistan, where one in seven women dies during childbirth. Motherland Afghanistan takes in two different trips, one to a maternity ward in Kabul, and the other to a rural hospital in Ghazni. In the juxtaposition of these two situations, the film finds and highlights the inspiring grace and courage of Afghanistan's women.
Afghanistan, 2006, directed by Sedika Mojadidi; 74 minutes.
