Newport Beach Film Festival 2008

The story takes us into the hearts and minds of five unforgettable Afghan women in real life dramas striving to move forward from burqas to boutiques. They survive in a land devastated by three decades of war and foreign occupation, where deep-rooted cultural mores impede the progress of women. These brave women attempt to better their lives through business--specifically sewing and embroidering. Presented with a life altering opportunity to travel to New York City, to Seventh Avenue, where fashion reigns, they must get permission from their husbands to make the trip. Some do, others are left to remain in the dust of Kabul.
