On May 15, the American Medical Women’s Association, Highlander Robotics, FRC Team 8033, and Girl Scouts Service Unit 303 will present a special screening of the Paramount Plus award-winning film, Afghan Dreamers.

Afghan Dreamers tells the incredible story of the Afghan Dreamers Girls’ Robotics Team, a group of Afghan schoolgirls who—led and inspired by Afghan tech entrepreneur Roya Mahboob–defied conservative gender roles to compete internationally in robotics… and, in doing so, helped transform a people and nation.

Immediately following the screening, members of the production team will be joined by a former Afghan Dreamers team captain as well as an Afghan Girl Scout. They will share their perspectives on the film and the current status of women’s rights in Afghanistan, particularly with regard to education and work. The discussion will be moderated by an Afghan writer and human rights activist.

This movie is recommended for upper middle school age and older for images of war. Parental Discretion Advised
