As a seasoned gamer with a heart for justice and a keen eye for compelling stories, I find Jennifer Lawrence‘s dedication to producing the documentary “Bread and Roses” nothing short of inspiring. Her unwavering commitment to shedding light on the plight of Afghan women under Taliban rule is truly commendable.
As a die-hard fan of Jennifer Lawrence, I can’t help but share her heartfelt reasons for producing the documentary Bread and Roses. Contrary to what her family suggested, she found herself irresistibly drawn into this Taliban-centric project.
The documentary, set to debut on Apple TV+ this Friday, delves into the lives of Afghan women since the Taliban seized control of Kabul in August 2021. As shared by director Sahra Mani on CBS Mornings, the Taliban’s rule has been oppressive enough that Afghan women are prohibited from working, expressing themselves through song or music, dining at restaurants, purchasing food, or walking outside without an escort.
When I witnessed the Taliban takeover, my immediate response was to do exactly what they didn’t want us to do – to facilitate and enable people on the ground to document the events unfolding in real-time. This is why I chose to participate in the documentary. Reflecting on it now, I find it hard to fathom a world where one can’t hail a taxi or listen to music freely. It’s equally difficult for me to imagine a scenario where even the sound of my own voice could be deemed illegal.
The Oscar-winning individual expressed that her family and companions “strongly advised against” making the film due to its sensitive content. She added, “Indeed, it’s risky. It absolutely is.” However, she emphasized, “There are 20 million women whose lives are at stake.
The actress from the movie “No Hard Feelings” has faced criticism from internet users who argue that she lacks the necessary education to discuss political issues and complex topics like the Taliban.
Lawrence clarified that trolls often express varied opinions. He recalled an interview on ’60 Minutes’ where he admitted dropping out of middle school, thus making him unschooled. A frequent comment regarding this topic is ‘Why should someone without formal education discuss politics?’ To which he responds, it’s not about politics, it’s about people’s lives.
She went on to say, “It’s about politics because it involves advocating for your representatives and getting engaged to make our government more transparent. This way, the United Nations can acknowledge gender segregation as a reality. However, I don’t consider it political myself. Additionally, I have studied filmmaking, and I have honed my skills in storytelling.
