Burqa and the Confused Afghan (Enhanced DVD)

Burqa and the Confused Afghan is the work of Afghan-Canadian filmmaker Brishkay Ahmed to explore the origins of the burqa and how it has been turned as a political tool to manipulate women. In this insightful documentary, Ahmed looks at how people react to her wearing a burqa, how it is seen within Afghan culture, and the history of the garment.

The burqa is an often misunderstood garment to people in the Western world and even to other Afghans. With Burqa and the Confused Afghan, Brishkay Ahmed hopes to educate those who may have received the wrong messages about the burqa and how it relates to life for Afghan women.
