Hava, Maryam, Ayesha is a 2019 Afghan drama film directed by Sahraa Karimi. It was selected as the Afghan entry for Best International Feature Film at the 92nd Academy Awards.[1] However, it was not on the Academy's final list of films for consideration because questions were raised over the legitimacy of the Afghan committee that submitted the film.[2]
Plot
Three women in Kabul face challenging moments in their lives during pregnancy.
Sahraa Karimi says of the characters: "They face difficulties with pregnancy, and also, they question their motherhood. What does it mean to be a pregnant woman in Afghan, patriarchal society? I like all films where women are very strong."[3]
