Girton Talks is delighted to be holding a screening of The Sharp Edge of Peace with Producer, Leslie Thomas.
In 2021, after 20 years of war in Afghanistan, women were in a precarious position with the withdrawal of foreign troops and the rise to power of the Taliban. A powerful thriller, THE SHARP EDGE OF PEACE (directed by Roya Sadat and produced by MIRA Studios and Roya Film House), follows four courageous women on the Afghan government’s negotiating team as they risk their lives to navigate towards peace with a group of men historically committed to denying their most basic rights. The team’s intelligence, resilience, and bravery are a powerful representation of all women globally who continue to fight for peace and equality. The world is watching, and they plan to deliver, no matter the cost.
LESLIE THOMAS is a feature narrative and documentary film producer/director, Emmy-award winning art director, multi-media artist, and architect. She co-founded MIRA Studios, which creates film and multi-media works on human and women’s rights as well as mentoring emerging filmmakers in under-resourced countries.
