‘Kamay,’ About Hazara Family’s Fight for Justice in Afghanistan, Picked Up by Cat&Docs Ahead of Visions du Réel Premiere (EXCLUSIVE)
Cat&Docs has acquired 'Kamay,' the debut feature documentary from Ilyas Yourish and Shahrokh Bikaran. The film will world premiere at Visions du Réel.
Paris-based film sales agency Cat&Docs has acquired “Kamay,” the debut feature documentary from filmmakers Ilyas Yourish and Shahrokh Bikaran. Zahra’s younger sister, Freshta, continues to gather the Kamay plant for her late sister’s research high up in the mountains near their house, but the mystery surrounding Zahra’s death and the great loss felt by the family affects her deeply – as she herself is nearly ready to enter university next. “Steering the production through turbulent times, including the immense upheaval caused by the Taliban’s resurgence, and ensuring the safe passage of the film’s collaborators to Europe amidst the turmoil in Afghanistan, speaks to the commitment of the film team to bring this story to audiences.”
