Prior to the screening, Afghan-Dutch poet and feminist Tania Akefi will share how she views the film from her personal background and experiences. What does it mean for a woman to watch a film where themes such as masculinity, power, and the relationship between men and women are central?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After her introduction, Akefi will recite some of her poems in Dari. The poems will then be translated into Dutch. The event is organized in collaboration with Amnesty Leeuwarden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>About <em>No Good Men<\/em> <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Afghanistan, 2021, just before the Taliban regain power. Naru, the only female camera operator at Kabul\u2019s main television station, tries to retain custody of her three-year-old son. Since leaving her unfaithful husband, she\u2014like most Afghan women\u2014has become convinced that there are no good men in her country. So, Naru is surprised when Qodrat, Kabul TV\u2019s leading journalist, offers her a career opportunity. As they travel across the city to cover the last days of freedom, sparks fly between them, and Naru begins to doubt her conviction. Could there be a good man somewhere after all?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The film is spoken in Dari and Pashto, with Dutch subtitles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Director, screenwriter, and lead actress Shahrbanoo Sadat aims to present a different, more authentic image of Afghanistan with <em>No Good Men<\/em>, filled with humor and romance. <em>No Good Men<\/em> opened the 76th Berlin Film Festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Click <a href=\"https:\/\/sliekerfilm.nl\/film\/no-good-men\/\">here<\/a> for regular screenings of <em>No Good Men<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":27706,"parent":0,"menu_order":52,"template":"","agenda_activity":[564],"agenda_language":[],"class_list":["post-27710","agenda","type-agenda","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","agenda_activity-film-2"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Film No Good Men + poetry reading (in collaboration with Amnesty Leeuwarden) - Leeuwarden City of Literature<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Afghanistan.
