Episode Synopsis

Khalida Popal fought for something that many of us take for granted: being able to play football. But Khalida’s story is about more than just kicking a ball around. It is about fighting for your right to exist and fighting for freedom in a country marred by decades of war and internal conflict. Through football, Khalida finds her voice, as well as a tool for peaceful protest. In the first episode of "Fighting to...", we start at the beginning in Afghanistan where Khalida was born. With the country in disarray, a hostile dynamic develops, which eventually forces Khalida and her family to flee. Thanks to Khalida Popal and Sameer Azizi.
