Synopsis

After a decade of fighting and democracy-building, America is preparing to leave Afghanistan. As President Obama announces a 2014 deadline for withdrawal of all forces, a rising fear gathers over the growing potential for civil war, economic collapse and a resurgence of Taliban force – giving the entire region an uncertain fate. Against this harrowing backdrop, the feature-length documentary WHAT TOMORROW BRINGS takes us to pastoral Deh Subz, where the village’s first-ever girls’ school is challenging centuries of conservative social tradition. The film traces the interconnected stories of students, teachers, village elders, families, and tenacious school founder Razia Jan, building a layered portrait of a community caught between its tribal, patriarchal values and modern, Western influence.
