WE ARE AYENDA is a true story on WhatsApp
As the Taliban claimed power in 2021 and banned women and girls from participating in sports, the members of the Afghanistan Youth Women’s National Football Team needed to escape their own country or risk being captured. What happened next is an extraordinary story of survival, sisterhood and the human right to privacy. Presented by WhatsApp.
