Sarah Menzies is an incredibly talented filmmaker and director of several documentaries that capture characters who are changing the world in positive ways. In this episode, we discuss her path to becoming a filmmaker, and she walks us through the production of her amazing feature length documentary, Afghan Cycles. Afghan Cycles follows the journey of a group of young women in Afghanistan who are pushing gender and cultural barriers by riding bicycles. This inspiring film uses the bicycle to tell a story of women’s rights, human rights, and the struggles faced by Afghan women on a daily basis... from discrimination, to abuse, to the oppressive silencing of their voices in all aspects of contemporary society. These women ride despite cultural barriers, despite infrastructure, and despite death threats, embracing the power and freedom that comes with the sport.
I'm so excited to share this conversation with you guys. Sarah's work is so inspiring, and her documentary is one of my favorites.
