My name is Sara Karimi, a film director and the current general director of Gan Film, the only state owned film company established in 1968. I write to you with a broken heart and deep hope that you can join me in protecting my beautiful people, especially filmmaker from the Taliban. In the last few weeks, the Taliban have gained control of so many provinces. They have massacred our people. They kidnapped many children. They sold girls as child brides to their men. They murdered a woman for attire

Crimes against culture, crimes against art, crimes against women and the Taliban coming in and taking over it's just headlines in papers for people. And then you hear a voice like hers, and you just want to crawl through your device and hold her and help her

Harish, I say thank you for sharing the letter. I've been watching the news reports and listening to the outcry from the people who are innocent and who are not deserving of any of this. And I don't quite understand myself. I continue to hope that something will happen to change what's going on right now and that children and women and just the people there will be safe once more. But thanks for sharing that letter. It was really eye open and to hear it
