Under the Taliban, women’s freedom in Afghanistan was almost entirely curbed. For five years, women went through life veiled, usually indoors, excluded from education and, of course, from sports. “Afghan Girls Can Kick” follows Afghanistan’s first ever women’s national football team as they prepare for their first international match.
