What Tomorrow Brings follows one year in the life of the first all-girls school in a conservative Afghan village.
The film traces the inter-connected stories of those who bring the school to life: students, teachers, village elders, parents, and school founder Razia Jan.
The girls discover their school is the one place they can turn to understand the differences between the lives they were born into and the lives they dream of leading.
Never before have fathers here allowed their daughters to be educated.
“Nobody has the right to prevent girls from getting an education,” Razia tells her students. “If you were home you’d be washing clothes and sweeping. Your family would think of you like this flower. Theirs to protect or destroy. But this flower says, ‘Here I stand. Strong. Even if you try to destroy me I will bloom again and I will be beautiful.'”
Tickets on the door at the Civic Hall.
