PODCAST | Matt Micucci interviews Sahraa Karimi, director of the film Hava, Maryan, Ayesha.

Sahraa Karimi has made history by becoming the first female director to have directed an Afghani independent feature film. She presented it at the 76th Venice International Film Festival, and it is called Hava, Maryam, Ayesha. The three names of the title stand for the three different characters, each from a different cultural background, whose lives are portrayed. Karimi talks about this, the challenges she faced in making this movie and the way in which she employed a different style for each of the three different episodes of the movie.

Hava, Maryan, Ayesha: Three Afghan women from different social background, living in Kabul, are facing a big challenge in their lives. Hava, a traditional pregnant woman whom no one cares about, is living with her father- and mother-in-law. Her only joy is talking to the baby in her belly. Maryam, an educated TV news reporter, is about to get a divorce from her unfaithful husband that finds out she is pregnant. Ayesha, an 18-year-old girl, accepts to marry her cousin because she is pregnant from her boyfriend who disappears after hearing her pregnancy news. Therefore, she needs to find a doctor to get an abortion and regain her virginity. Each of them has to solve her problem by herself for the first time.
