  • FREE TO RUN - a mission to tell the stories of women using sport to transform the world around them.
    After completing the TOR330 race four times, Stephanie Case’s next goal in sight was the TOR450, all while working behind the scenes to organize an all-women expedition in Afghanistan with Free to Run. These women include Zeinab and Zahra, who represent not only Free to Run’s ethos but the spirit of many other women in Afghanistan who believe in education and progress. Captured by the lenses of Dream Lens Media, this is a truly unique moment in history documenting Stephanie’s unshakeable strength and incredible belief in the power of the women around her.

    This film deeply touched me and brought tears to my eyes. It showcased what humans are capable of.
    I can't imagine not cracking under only one 10th of similar conditions.
    Thanks from the bottom of my heart to you Stephanie and all the girls, you're truly rolemodels for women aswell as men!
    I'm starting to work as a social worker soon and this gave me an extra boost and validation in my decision to change my profession.
    All the best!

  • @flameace
    @flameace Před rokem

    Taliban is horrible but then why it has so much support in afganistan...? Afganistan had their own armed forces that had far less support, so they pretty much immediatly gave up / lost to taliban.. So sad, but majority of afghans want things that way. Current way of human rights means that we cannot stop that kind of evil in any hard methods and soft ones don't work..

    • @Kelly_Ben
      @Kelly_Ben Před rokem

      Maybe the majority of Afgan MEN like the old ways, but I'm sure that if you could do a secure, secret poll where women were free from retribution, most women would say they wish their daughters had more opportunities than they themselves have had. Sadly, we've seen what happens to women who try to voice their opinions in an ultra conservative country run by the Taliban etc.
