In Her Hands tells the compelling story of Soraya, a young Afghan woman who becomes the mayor of a small village in Afghanistan after the withdrawal of Western forces. The film captures the challenges and dangers she faces as she bravely takes on her new role and leads a fight for education for the next generation of Afghans.
As Soraya steps into her position as mayor, she quickly realizes that her community is deeply divided and struggling with poverty, violence, and the remnants of Taliban influence. A major issue she confronts is the lack of educational opportunities for children, especially girls, who are often discouraged from pursuing an education.
Soraya faces fierce opposition from conservative traditionalists who oppose her progressive ideologies and believe that women should not hold positions of power. Despite the threats to her personal safety and the disapproval of her community, Soraya is determined to bring change and transform her village into a place where every child, regardless of gender, has access to education and a chance at a better future.
In her mission, Soraya forms alliances with other like-minded individuals, including teachers, community leaders, and young activists. Together, they set up secret schools and utilize innovative methods to provide education to children who are unable to attend traditional schools due to cultural restrictions or their families' socio-economic conditions. This underground network of education becomes a beacon of hope for the villagers, offering them a chance to overcome illiteracy and poverty.
However, as Soraya's efforts gain momentum, the Taliban resurgence poses an increased threat to her work and to her life. The extremist group begins targeting the hidden schools, endangering both the students and the teachers involved. Soraya finds herself torn between the responsibility of protecting her community and the risks that she must take to continue fighting for education.
Throughout the film, In Her Hands portrays Soraya's unwavering determination, resilience, and courage in the face of mortal danger. Her story highlights the power of education to bring about positive change in a society plagued by conflict, as well as the immense challenges faced by women who strive to create a better future for their communities.
In Her Hands ultimately serves as an inspiring and emotional testament to the strength and determination of women in Afghanistan who continue to fight for progress and education amidst complex social and political realities, even in the absence of Western support.
