US PREMIERE A poignant and powerful story following Afghanistan’s female ambassador to Austria as she faces a life-altering decision in the wake of the Taliban’s return to power. Refusing to represent an oppressive regime, she bravely confronts the very forces that tore her country apart. Through her defiance, Manizha Bakhtari becomes a voice for Afghanistan’s women whose rights have been taken away. The Last Ambassador is a stirring and emotionally charged story of resistance. - Murtada Elfadl

The first screening will be followed by a Q&A with producer Peter Drössler and editor Birgit Foerster.

All in-person screening venues provide sound amplification headphones upon request with venue management. IFC Center can also provide a T-Coil loop for compatible devices.
