Following a new generation of young Afghan women cyclists, Afghan Cycles uses the bicycle to tell a story of women’s rights - human rights - and the struggles faced by Afghan women on a daily basis, from discrimination to abuse, to the oppressive silencing of their voices in all aspects of contemporary society. The film is approximately 1 hour, 30 minutes long. Reception to follow. Co-presented by Oakland Asian Cultural Center and Oakland Public Library.
