The Last Ambassador
TOURDATA
Theatergasse 7, 4810 Gmunden
AT 2025 – 80 min. - Director/Writer: Natalie Halla - Cinematography: Judith Benedikt, Natalie Halla, Jordan Bryon – Music: Karwan Marouf – Starring: Manizha Bakhtari – Original version with German subtitles
Rating: valuable – Winner of the Bologna Film Festival
In cooperation with the Soroptimist International Club Traunsee – Film for INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY When the Americans unexpectedly withdrew from Afghanistan in the summer of 2021 and the Taliban came back to power, Manizha Bakhtari was an ambassador in Vienna. Since then, she has represented, at least on paper, a country whose government she does not support. Manizha Bakhtari has found herself in a bizarre situation since the Taliban took power: she represents a country whose old government has fled and whose new Taliban government is not recognized internationally.
Despite financial and logistical isolation, Manizha Bakhtari defies the Taliban and continues her fight for the rights of Afghan women and girls as an ambassador. With her "Daughters Program," she enables Afghan schoolgirls to receive secret education, and as an ambassador, she organizes political resistance against the Taliban. Under increasingly difficult conditions, she becomes one of the most important international spokespersons for the women of Afghanistan, true to her motto: 'Peace is not the absence of war, but the presence of justice.'
Close to her protagonist, the film conveys her immense courage and commitment and portrays a woman who is deeply connected to her country and her people yet so far removed from them.
Under the motto: An evening for women, courage, and solidarity, we present the film "The Last Ambassador" in cooperation with the Soroptimist International Club Traunsee – a powerful statement for awareness, taking a stand, and action. Before and after the film, the Soroptimist Club invites you to a buffet, the proceeds of which will benefit charitable, regional projects for women and girls. An evening full of commitment, inspiration, and solidarity.
