Sanaz Fotouhi - Love Marriage in Kabul: A Memoir

The speaker, a filmmaker and academic, discusses their experiences in Afghanistan, focusing on two documentaries. The first, about Afghan women committing self-immolation, was too raw for audiences. The second, 'Love Marriage in Kabul', tells a softer story of a young couple's arranged marriage. The speaker also shares the challenges of writing and publishing a memoir about these experiences, highlighting the cultural insights gained and the persistence required to bring these stories to light.
