"The Bravest Woman In Afghanistan": Malalai Joya Speaks Out Against the Warlord-Controlled Afghan Government

Malalai has come to the United States for a screening of a new documentary about her struggle. The film is called “Enemies of Happiness”, premiering at the Human Rights Watch film festival here in New York. We'll speak with Malalai in a minute, but first an excerpt. The film begins in December 2003 at a meeting of Afghanistan's newly elected constitutional assembly, the loya jirga. A then-unknown twenty-four year old woman steps to the microphone to deliver a speech that will make international headlines and draw threats on her life.
