The Last Ambassador

Synopsis

The Afghan ambassador in Vienna, Manizha Bakhtari, is in a bizarre situation since the Taliban took power: she represents a country whose old government fled and whose new Taliban government has no international recognition. Under increasingly difficult conditions, she decides to stand up to the Taliban and continue her courageous fight for the rights of Afghanistan's women.
