“阿富汗梦想家”的电影《女性机器人团队》正在进行中，因为制片人描述了《疏散》（独家）的“白头恐慌”（独家）
‘Afghan Dreamers’ Film, on Female Robotics Team, Underway as Producer Describes ‘White-Knuckle Panic’ Around Evacuation (EXCLUSIVE)
来自阿富汗的全女孩机器人团队的成员，大多数人在塔利班残酷地接管权力之后狭窄逃离了该国，是一部新功能纪录片的主题，描绘了该小组崛起成为民族英雄，由综艺会揭示。大卫·格林瓦尔德（David Greenwald）由贝丝·墨菲（Beth Murphy）制作，“阿富汗梦想家”（以六个女孩的原始团队的名字命名）正在后期制作，尽管目前暂停，因为这对夫妇疯狂地努力确保年轻妇女及其家人在此之后安全可靠逃脱了塔利班。各种各样的女孩现在在墨西哥，而一个留在卡塔尔的多哈。“从赫拉特到喀布尔的路上，我们非常害怕，”团队中的一位成员一张紧张的信息，当她试图逃脱时与综艺节目共享。 “每小时，塔利班都会进入汽车并检查汽车内部。我本人在车里的帐篷里，这样他们就不会认识我。我父亲担心你在整个磨难中，“阿富汗梦想家”的创意团队（包括制片人戴维·考恩（David David Cowan）和奥斯卡奖的Doc Maker Ellen Goosenberg Kent担任咨询生产者），他的角色超越了他们的角色，作为证人，记录了一个令人难以置信的见证人的角色旅行。墨菲（Murphy）是一名20年的非小说类老兵，当时塔利班（Taliban）在2001年被推翻时在阿富汗首次在阿富汗，她说她没有连续四天从一个地点移动，因为她与美国特种部队一起工作以提交“压碎金额”撤离54个不同家庭成员的文书工作。这些人现在安全地在多哈阵营中，最终将在那里通过墨西哥前往美国。“这是每一秒的生与死，高潮和低谷令人难以置信，”墨菲告诉《综艺》，并指出她的努力现在是专注于剩下的三个家庭。她说，让人们去喀布尔机场是任务中最具挑战性的腿。“有时我们认为，‘成功，成功！他们将打开[到机场]的大门！’然后我们听说塔利班说他们要搜寻公共汽车。机器人团队是阿富汗的第一个，从1996年到2001年，在塔利班统治下，妇女实际上被拘留并被禁止工作或接受教育。该小组总部位于美国第三大城市的赫拉特，由大约25名12至18岁的女孩组成。最初的团队成员（现在已经毕业了）被称为“阿富汗梦想家”电影的重点。“重要的是要意识到他们在一个不允许骑自行车的世界中长大。他们不允许在公共场合微笑。”格林瓦尔德说。 “但是他们已经旅行，已经看到了另一个世界，并在实现自由的真正含义方面取得了很大进步。因此，塔利班的整个想法都进入了该团队是由阿富汗技术企业家Roya Mahboob创立的，他在2016年被First Global要求，这是奥运会风格的机器人竞赛的组织者，以组成一支团队来自阿富汗。随后的小队有一段艰难的旅程，可以确保签证参加国际比赛，尤其是美国的比赛，但此后以其技能和毅力积累了支持者和启发的科学社区。格林瓦尔德（Greenwald）的荣誉包括“最后的比赛”，来自“松露猎人”导演迈克尔·德威克（Michael Dweck）和“莱克效应”（The Blech Effect）首先在问答环节上为他的一部电影向团队发出警报，在那里，一位喘不过气来的观众叙述了他的经历，在安全担忧之后出现了他在加利福尼亚州的住所中隐藏团队的经历。美国旅行。“我对机器人技术的了解不多，我的经验并没有包含国际范围的事情，”格林瓦尔德说。凯利（Kly）招募了墨菲（“明天带来的东西”），其作品主要集中在妇女权利和女孩教育上，以加入该项目。这部电影跟随原始机器人团队的六个女孩，他们被称为“阿富汗梦想家”。大卫。格林瓦尔德（Greenwaldthe）对2019年秋季和冬季的开枪射击，当时塔利班和美国之间的和平谈判正在进行中。格林瓦尔德说：“女孩及其家人正在看新闻，并真正关注发生的事情。”“我会说这是人们开始建立关注的地方。”该团队越来越担心在农村地区赫拉特外的车间上下班。“他们觉得他们必须尝试隐藏自己。他们担心道路上会发生什么。墨菲说：“总是有一个未知的人。当您在阿富汗地面上一切顺利时，这种感觉都令人难以置信，直到真的进展不顺利。你总是有一个感觉nything随时可能出错。这就是[女孩]每天都生活的压力。墨菲（Murphy） - 来自团队在各种比赛中的国际胜利。“阿富汗的大部分生活都发生在墙后，”墨菲指出，“因此，我们非常小心，不要在拍摄时，尤其是在他们的房屋周围时吸引他们不必要的关注。在2020年2月，美国和塔利班之间的一项交易决定，美国及其北约盟友将撤回全部部队在14个月内为该组织维持了阻止袭击的承诺。女孩们学到的东西，这将是阿富汗新时代的开始。”格林瓦尔德说。“事情的发展方式，肯定不是那样发生。”人们只能推测一群备受瞩目的年轻妇女现在可能会有什么，可以在阿富汗成为科学家和工程师。一开始，似乎确实不可能认为会有一个全女孩机器人团队。”格林瓦尔德反映。“但是，通过这一切，他们能够成功并倡导女孩和妇女的案件。他们准备成为该国的下一代工程师和计算机科学家以及问题解决者。他们仍然准备这样做。“但不幸的是，至少目前，它不会在阿富汗。”
Members of an all-girl robotics team from Afghanistan, the majority of whom narrowly fled the country following the Taliban’s brutal takeover of power, are the subjects of a new feature documentary depicting the group’s rise to become national heroes, Variety can reveal.
Directed by David Greenwald and produced by Beth Murphy, “Afghan Dreamers” — named after the original team of six girls — is in post-production, though currently on hold as the pair frantically works to ensure the young women and their families are safe and secure after escaping the Taliban.
Variety can confirm that most of the girls are now in Mexico, while one remains in Doha, Qatar.
“On the way from Herat to Kabul, we were very scared,” reads a tense message from one member of the team, shared with Variety, as she sought to escape. “Every hour, the Taliban would enter the car and check the inside of the car. I myself was in a tent [burqa] in the car so that they would not recognize me. My father is worried about us, because our lives are in danger.”
Throughout this ordeal, the “Afghan Dreamers” creative team — which includes producer David Cowan and Oscar-winning doc maker Ellen Goosenberg Kent as consulting producer — has transcended their roles as mere witnesses documenting an incredible journey. Murphy, a 20-year non-fiction veteran who was first in Afghanistan when the Taliban was toppled in 2001, says she didn’t move from one spot for four days straight as she worked alongside U.S. Special Forces to file a “crushing amount” of paperwork to evacuate 54 different family members of the team. These individuals are now safely in a Doha camp, where they will eventually travel to the U.S. via Mexico.
“It is life and death at every second and the highs and lows have been unbelievable,” Murphy tells Variety, noting that her efforts are now laser-focused on three remaining families. Getting people to Kabul airport, she says, is the most challenging leg of the mission.
“Sometimes we think, ‘Success, success! They're going to open the gate [to the airport]!’ And then we hear that the Taliban have said they’re going to search their bus. It’s been an absolute, total white-knuckle panic.”
The robotics team is a first for Afghanistan, where under Taliban rule from 1996 to 2001, women were practically under house arrest and banned from working or getting an education. Based in Herat, the nation’s third largest city, the group is comprised of around 25 girls between the ages of 12 and 18. The original team members, some of whom have now graduated, are called the ‘Afghan Dreamers,’ and they’re the focus of the film.
“It’s important to realize that they grew up in a world where girls weren’t allowed to ride a bicycle. They weren’t allowed to smile in public,” Greenwald says. “But they’ve travelled and have gotten to see a different world, and have made so much progress in realizing what freedom really means. So, the whole idea of the Taliban coming in and just turning the clock back on these young people is so difficult for all of us.”
The team was founded by Afghan technology entrepreneur Roya Mahboob, who was asked in 2016 by FIRST Global, the organizers of an Olympics-style robotics competition, to form a team from Afghanistan. The ensuing squad had a rocky journey securing visas to compete in international competitions — particularly for the U.S. — but have since amassed supporters and inspired science communities around the world with their skills and perseverance.
Greenwald, whose credits include “The Last Race,” from “Truffle Hunters” director Michael Dweck, and “The Blech Effect,” was first alerted to the team at a Q&A for one of his films, where a breathless audience member recounted his experience hiding the team at his California residence after security concerns emerged during a U.S. trip.
“I didn’t really know much about robotics, and my experience didn’t include things of an international scope,” says Greenwald, who quickly recruited Murphy (“What Tomorrow Brings”), whose work has primarily focused on women’s rights and girls’ education, to join the project.
The pair shot over the fall and winter months of 2019, when peace talks between the Taliban and U.S. were underway. “The girls and their families were watching the news and really paying attention to what was going on,” says Greenwald. “I would say that’s where concerns started to build.”
The team was increasingly anxious about the commute to their workshop just outside Herat, in a rural area. “They felt they had to try and hide themselves. They were worried what could happen on the road; there was always that unknown,” says Murphy.
“There’s this incredible sense when you’re on the ground in Afghanistan that everything is going well, until it’s really not going well. You always have the sense that anything could go wrong at any moment. And that’s the kind of pressure [the girls] were living with on a daily basis.”
Greenwald and Murphy say that, of their footage, the most uplifting moments — “Where you want to jump off your couch and cheer them on,” opines Murphy — come from the team’s international triumphs at various competitions.
“Most of life in Afghanistan happens behind walls,” notes Murphy, “so we were very careful not to attract unnecessary attention to them when we were filming, especially around their homes. You never feel safe there, and you can’t let down your guard or be lulled into some false sense of security.”
A deal between the U.S. and Taliban was struck in February 2020, dictating that the U.S. and its NATO allies would withdraw all troops in 14 months provided the organization upheld a promise to stop attacks.
“When I thought about how the film was going to end, very often it was the signing of the peace treaty, and the girls would set up schools to teach other girls what they’ve learned, and it would be the beginning of a new era for Afghanistan,” says Greenwald. “The way things have unfolded, it certainly hasn’t happened that way.”
One can only speculate what might now be in store for a high-profile group of young women, on track to becoming scientists and engineers, in Afghanistan.
“It really did seem impossible in the beginning to think there would be an all-girl robotics team,” reflects Greenwald. “But through all this, they’ve been able to succeed and champion the cases of girls and women. They were poised to become the next generation of engineers and computer scientists and problem solvers in the country. And they’re still poised to do that.
“But unfortunately, at least for now, it won’t be in Afghanistan.”
