We Are Ayenda is a half-hour documentary that tells the story of the Afghan Girls National Football Team and their heroic escape from Afghanistan after the Taliban took power in 2021. Interweaving emotional interviews with harrowing archival footage and the real text messages shared by the teen players as they used their WhatsApp group chat to secretly orchestrate their escape, the film reveals the bravery of these young women and their determination to continue playing the sport they love.
