"Before Dawn, Kabul Time" was made with tears in my eyes and my hands in a fist. Its themes reflect the plight of women in Afghanistan and Iran and our fight for autonomy, safety and #freedom. As a first generation Iranian-American, storytelling is my way of fighting #FYC #Oscars

The Taliban had 7 months to fix this. They deprived Afghan girls of education for 7 months saying the new academic year in March would set things right.
And on 1st day of that new academic year, they broke hearts again, reversing own statement as the girls arrived at school gates

CNN just called it.
Joe Biden is President Elect.
