About the Film:
View From a Grain of Sand is a journey through the last 30 years of Afghanistan\'s history as lived by three Afghan women. Shot over the last three years in Pakistan and Afghanistan, a doctor, teacher and social activist tell how their lives were violently affected by wars of international making and three different regimes in Afghanistan. Yet through all their loss, and the destruction of their homes and country, these women have endured. With courage, conviction and hope they continue to work on improving the lives of the people around them, against all odds, in this brutalized and divided nation.
\"There are VERY few films that approach the issue of Afghanistan, Afghan women\'s rights, and US policy with a decent level of sensitivity, political maturity, and sophistication. Meena Nanji\'s Film,\"View from a Grain of Sand\" is one of those rare films that tackles all the important issues with grace, and conviction.\"- Sonali Kolhatkar, KPFK radio
