The Boxing Girls of Kabul plot

In Kabul, in the stadium where women were once stoned during the Taliban rule, young people are now learning to box. The girls who train here are determined to prove that they are free, and want to command respect for themselves and their country. Their families are also discussed, but the focus is on the girls and their training. Their coach Sabir Sharifi is doing everything he can to prepare 'his' girls for the 2012 Olympics. They owe a lot to their open-minded families, but not every family is united in that regard.
