NO GOOD MEN

On the eve of the Taliban''s return to power in 2021, Kabul''s only female TV camerawoman, Naru, is fighting battles both personal and professional. Having left an abusive husband, she struggles to gain custody of her young son while enduring the sexism that permeates Afghanistan''s media industry. Convinced there are ''no good men'' left, Naru is unexpectedly paired with Qodrat, the country''s leading television journalist, on a major news assignment. As mutual respect slowly blossoms into an unlikely romance, the political landscape around them rapidly deteriorates, threatening the freedoms they have fought to build. Written, directed by, and starring acclaimed filmmaker Shahrbanoo Sadat (WOLF AND SHEEP), NO GOOD MEN deftly blends the wit and charm of a romantic comedy with the mounting tension of a society on the brink, resulting in a poignant, courageous portrait of love, resilience, and hope in the face of impending darkness.
