Girls move mountains
Girls move mountainsIn Girls Move Mountains, directed by Anna Huix, we learn the story of the co-founder of the Gilgit-Baltistan Football League. Karishma battles bullying from aggressive crowds challenging the rights of girls in the mountains. She has numerous opponents, but she also has the unconditional support of her grandmother, a wise Wakhi woman who lives in a hut in an isolated village. Girls Move Mountains explores the enduring struggle for women's rights in the pursuit of a fairer world, while it shows how older generations plant seeds for the ones to come.
“Seeing girls play soccer was something we had never seen before. It felt so big. It felt like we were doing something no one else in the family had done before.”
Girls Move Mountains has premiered at the 35th edition of the Short Film Festival of Aguilar de Campoo.
“In a true sense, it is all dirt and mud. To succeed in something there will always be dirt and mud on you. But you just have to shove it off and keep on going.”
