Stray Dogs: Ventnor Film Society

Following the locally made film, Harvest will be Stray Dogs.

Stray DogsWhen their mother is put in prison for remarrying after her first husband disappears, brother and sister Zahed and Gol-Ghotai are allowed to stay with her at nights, but chucked out first thing in the morning.

Free to roam the streets of Kabul, they look for a way to join her permanently by trying to get in trouble with the law.

Iranian director Marzieh Meshkini offers compelling insights into the plight of women in post-war Afghanistan.

A simple and impassioned story, powerfully told.
