Afghan director Roya Sadat's film "The Sharp Edge of Peace" was screened at the European Parliament on Monday night, November 18.

The filmmakers said that the production of the documentary began in 2020 at the same time as the peace talks between the United States and the Taliban had been finalised.

A number of diplomats and members of the European Parliament sat at the body's headquarters in Brussels to watch the film.

The film is a visual and inspiring narrative of the struggles of Afghan women.

The documentary's authors called it a "powerful illustrated document" that "confronts the viewer with hidden and overt realities surrounding the peace talks".

"The Sharp Edge of Peace" was also introduced by Hollywood actress Meryl Streep at a meeting at the United Nations.

The film is directed by Roya Sadat and produced by Leslie Thomas, and is a co-production of Roya Film House and Mira Studios.

"The Sharp Edge of Peace" has previously been screened at festivals in Canada and India.
