She is a controversial and outspoken 28-year-old Afghan woman, a folk hero and a women's rights activist, who, despite four assassination attempts and many more death threats, was elected to the newly formed democratic parliament in Afghanistan in 2005. She's also the focus of this year's World Cinema Jury Prize-winning documentary at the Sundance Film Festival. Enemies of Happiness tells the inspiring story of a young woman fighting for change in Afghanistan, a woman who's been described as "the bravest woman in Afghanistan". It all began in 2003, when Afghanistan politicians met to lay the foundation for a democracy in the "new" Afghanistan. It was at this meeting that the outspoken Malalai Joya challenged former Mujahidin leaders. Her comments ignited outrage among the mostly male group, who demanded that she be immediately removed from the sessions. Undaunted, in September 2005, when Afghanistan held its first parliamentary election in over 30 years, Joya was one of the candidates running to become a delegate in the National Assembly. Enemies of Happiness follows the final weeks of Joya's political campaign, when the death threats and assassination attempts forced her to conduct her campaign in hiding, surrounded by security. Directed by Eva Mulvad and Anja Al Erhayem, Enemies of Happiness provides a snapshot of life and politics in war-torn Afghanistan, but more importantly tells a story of personal courage and the belief that an ordinary person can make a difference.
