This episode follows the parliamentary campaign of 28-year-old Malalai Joya, who became one of Afghanistan's most famous - and infamous - women in 2003 when she challenged the power of the warlords in the country's new government. Despite assassination attempts, Joya conducts her campaign and meets with clan leaders, opium kings and adolescent girls pressured to marry old men. Six years after the Taliban was overthrown, WIDE ANGLE provides a unique insight into the politics and culture of a nation still ruled by fear but desperate for change.
