Flying Hands

In the middle of the Karakorum mountain range in Pakistan, Aniqa Bano gave birth to a deaf girl, Narjis. Until then, she was unaware not only of the rejection and stigma attached to these girls, but also of their very existence, as they remained hidden due to the shame of their families. Sixteen years later, Narjis reads her mother's diaries where she narrates the obstacles, both personal and social, that she has had to overcome for wanting to defend the dignity and rights of a group that had been condemned for centuries to not being able to have a full life. Today Aniqa has built a school and home for deaf people. There they not only receive education and respect, but also discover a world of possibilities and rights to which they can also aspire.
