What Tomorrow Brings follows one year in the life of the first all-girls school in a remote, conservative Afghan village, where fathers have never before allowed their daughters to be educated. The film traces the stories of those who bring the school to life: students, teachers, village elders, parents, and school founder, humanitarian Razia Jan. While the girls learn to read and write, they come to understand the differences between the lives they were born into and the lives they dream of leading. Very much in the spirit of Malala Yousafzai who took on the Taliban by giving voice to her dreams – and although shot remains undaunted. The film’s thought provoking themes will be discussed by the audience and the team from Project O, a Tasmanian based initiative of Big hART, helping young women develop new capabilities, learning how to become change-makers in their community. The discussion will be led by Melanie Tait, radio broadcaster, writer and activist.

“A most intimate look at what it really means to be a girl growing up in Afghanistan today.”
