For Afghanistan’s Women, Empowerment Comes on Two Wheels | Short Film Showcase

Posted by

For women, riding a bike in Afghanistan is viewed by society as controversial and provocative. National Geographic Adventurer of the Year Shannon Galpin is committed to changing that view by seeking out young women who have the desire to ride. This short film from Let Media and Pongo Media Productions sheds light on their mission and emphasizes the dangerous risks these riders take. By “risking their lives for the joy of riding a bike” these women “are sparking a revolution” and inspiring others to do the same.
