“Mom made it home alive from the street protest again today!” As soon as Zainab Entezar opens the door to her home and walks in, she is greeted by her young son and embraces him. She goes to the women’s street protests as though heading to work, and every time she leaves home, she fears she may never see her son again. 771 Days is director Zainab Entezar’s record of the 771 days she spent in Afghanistan under Taliban rule. As the stores, coffee shops, and bookstores she once frequented close, universities are shut down, and all social activities for women are banned, Entezar secretly makes a film on her own. The world seen through her camera lurches violently, turns upside down, collides, and is covered behind something. These images show us what it means to make a movie in a place where women have been stripped of all their rights. After 771 days, Entezar succeeds in escaping Afghanistan with a bag containing a camera, hard drive, and laptop, which are even more dangerous than a bomb. That is precisely where the film begins: Day 771. (KANG Sowon)
