Kunduz in northern Afghanistan is the country's fifth largest city, home to more that 300,000 people and was once a Taliban stronghold where women were deprived of their basic rights and education for girls was prohibited. Despite now being more liberal, a new wave of privately run madrasas - or religious schools - opening, there is a growing feeling among women's rights groups that these freedoms are under threat. The film questions clerics who established the most controversial madrasa, as well as meeting the girls who attend, and their families.
