My Forbidden Face
Latifa was born into an educated middle-class Afghan family in Kabul in 1980. She dreamed of one day of becoming a journalist she was interested in fashion movies and friends. Her father was in the import/export business and her mother was a doctor. Then in September 1996 Taliban soldiers seized power in Kabul. From that moment Latifa just 16 years old became a prisoner in her own home. Her school was closed. Her mother was banned from working. The simplest and most basic freedoms - walking down the street looking out a window - were no longer hers. She was now forced to wear a chadri. My Forbidden Face provides a poignant and highly personal account of life under the Taliban regime. With painful honesty and clarity Latifa describes the way she watched her world falling apart in the name
of a fanatical interpretation of a faith that she could not comprehend. Her voice captures a lost innocence but also echoes her determination to live in freedom and hope. Earlier this year Latifa and her parents escaped Afghanistan with the help of a French-based Afghan resistance group.
