The Badam Bagh Women's Prison in Afghanistan is packed with convicts, but many of them are guilty of acts that would not be deemed crimes in America. This documentary looks into the histories of three such prisoners. They are Sabereh, an 18-year-old who was handed over to the authorities by her father for kissing a boy; Kareema, a 20-year-old who turned herself in for having participated in premarital sex; and Aleema, a divorced woman who was arrested when her roommate tried to sell her.

Audience Member Compared to the western world it's really shocking to see what these women/girls have to go through bc they had premarital sex, or ran away from their husbands, etc. But at the same time thy knew where they lived and they knew the rules, and these laws weren't put in place overnight. Still it's sad to see. It's a low budget doc that gets shocking confessions and honesty from these women and the related families. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member This literally blew my mind.....I can not believe those poor woman live that like.....worth the watch..... Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Utterly fascinating look inside an Afghan women's prison where some inmates are being held for various "love crimes". They include having had pre-marital sex and another for having "thought about" same. Another inmate has no remorse about having killed her adulterous, paedophile husband. It's fascinating to hear their stories and to see their surprising humour, given their situations. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Read all reviews
