In 2021, after 20 years of war in Afghanistan, women were in a precarious position with the withdrawal of foreign troops and the rise of the Taliban as they took political and military control of the country. A powerful, revealing, and necessary political thriller, THE SHARP EDGE OF PEACE follows four courageous women on the Afghan government’s negotiating team during this fraught time as they risk their lives to navigate the hard road to peace with a group of men historically committed to denying their most basic rights. Lunch will be served and a portion of the film will be followed by series of discussions on women's leadership in the face of ongoing gender persecution in Afghanistan.
