Jennifer Lawrence Champions Afghan Women's Fight in 'Bread & Roses'

Jennifer Lawrence has faced criticism from online trolls questioning her education and ability to discuss political topics after producing the documentary "Bread and Roses," which focuses on Afghan women under Taliban rule. Despite discouragement from family and friends due to the project's risks, Lawrence emphasized the importance of highlighting the plight of 20 million women in danger. She argues that the documentary is about human lives, not politics, and stresses the need for governmental accountability and recognition of gender apartheid. The film, directed by Sahra Mani, premiered at Cannes and will stream on Apple TV+.
