about the film<\/b><\/p>\n

Following the withdrawal of US forces from Afghanistan in 2021, 61 determined young women were offered refuge and the chance to pursue their education at Arizona State University. This short documentary, filmed entirely on mobile devices, follows the inspiring journeys of Yalda and Latifa, two Afghan scholars who defied the Taliban’s restrictions to chase their dreams. Through their unwavering spirit and the support of their new community, Yalda and Latifa overcome significant obstacles and pave the way for a brighter future for themselves and other young Afghan women. The Last Hug sheds light on the struggle for education rights and the transformative power of opportunity. It is a story of courage, resilience, and the unwavering pursuit of dreams.<\/span><\/p>\n
