Learning to Skateboard in a Warzone (If You’re a Girl) (2019)
Carol Dysinger, who previously directed “Camp Victory, Afghanistan,” directed this Oscar winning short, which debuted at Tribeca Film Fest.
The country is “one of the worst places in the world to be born a girl,” the film states in its beginning, but shines an optimistic light on a program called Skateistan, which focuses on improving literacy among disadvantaged young women in Kabul.
In this country, simply coming to school requires female bravery.
The docu’s positive, upbeat approach is refreshing.
