Sonita, GFT, 4 – 7 November, 2016

Sonita, an 18-year-old Afghan refugee and the subject of this unique and inspiring documentary, harbours dreams of being a rapper. But her family has a very different future in mind: as a bride she is worth $9,000. In a culture where women are forbidden to sing, Sonita hopes to find a way to make her dreams come true. Director Rokhsareh Ghaemmaghami ends up becoming personally involved, taking Sonita on a journey to the United States, where this charismatic young woman defies her family’s expectations and channels her frustrations into a rousing rap video. Sonita is a soaring true story of a young woman discovering the power of her voice.
