2023 | Documentary | 33 mins.
Filmed over a year as the Taliban retakes control of Afghanistan, ‘The Takeover’
documents the country’s rapid transformation and the women who refuse to
lose their rights.
Starting as the US leaves Afghanistan, this film shows the women's experience,
protests, and daily life in the cities and countryside. We see how restrictions on
women’s basic freedoms are enforced by the Taliban on all levels of society.
Academy Award-nominated director Anders Hammer returns to his former
home of Afghanistan, a country he has spent a large part of the last 15 years
working in, to capture the development.
