MALALAI JOYA (SAMIA'S WEDDING)

This short film by Glyn Strong, tells the story of a young rape victim in Kabul who, against all odds, found happiness. It is unheard of for rape victims to marry in Afghanistan, where victims are twice violated - first by their attackers, then again by the society that ostracises them. It sends a message of hope and celebrates the courage of an enlightened and good hearted man - and the woman who inspired him. The wedding was made possible by activist and suspended MP Malalai Joya.

What a lovely story - one with a very happy ending. I hope both couples have a life time of peace and happiness. Malalai is a wonderful young woman, very brave. She obviously loved being involved with these wonderful people. A sign of hope for the future, as she said. I went to see Malalai recently in Sydney, Australia. She's an inspiration. I just want the Aust.Govt to remove the troops from her country - NOW!
