Four Afghan women sit across the table from Taliban negotiators as part of a team that also includes representatives of the former government, trying to secure basic rights for women before the 2021 collapse. DW Documentary follows their negotiations through interviews and footage from the talks, tracing what they pushed for, from girls' access to school to women's right to work, and what the Taliban were actually willing to concede. The film shows the physical risk these women took simply by speaking against the movement's positions on women in public life, and it does not soften what came after: once the Taliban retook power, the freedoms under discussion were stripped away. Afghanistan is described by some in the film as safer now after decades of war, but the documentary is clear about who paid for that stability. It closes on the women who kept negotiating even after the outcome was effectively decided, a record of an effort that failed but was not abandoned lightly.
