After the chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, the Taliban came to power and quickly began stripping women and girls of their rights. With the support of Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai and actor Jennifer Lawrence, Afghan filmmaker Sahra Mani gathered footage from women activists fighting against this oppressive regime. The resulting documentary, <a href="https://tv.apple.com/us/movie/bread--roses/umc.cmc.76dp605jvw9didum9xrra5hvc" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Bread & Roses</a>, is now available on Apple TV+.
