Sahraa Karimi has posted an open letter, calling for support from cinema communities around the world to protect artists as the Taliban seize control of the country.
Sahraa Karimi, the Afghan filmmaker and general director of the country’s national film company Afghan Film, has called for support from the global film community to protect artists inside Afghanistan as the country falls to the Taliban.
In a statement posted on Twitter Sunday, addressing “all the film communities in the world,” Karimi warned that the Taliban would impose a strictly Islamic state on Afghanistan and could seek to punish artists. “I write to you with a broken heart and a deep hope that you can join me in protecting my beautiful people, especially filmmakers, from the Taliban,” she wrote. “They have massacred our people, they kidnapped many children, they sold girls as child brides to their men… It’s a humanitarian crisis, and yet the world is silent… They will ban all art. I and other filmmakers could be next on their hit list,” Karimi warned.
