Synopsis

Amid the threats of criminals, mafia networks, and narcotics traffickers, Marya Bashir stands as Afghanistan’s first female public prosecutor. In a justice system overshadowed by corruption and intimidation, she fearlessly prosecutes cases of violence against women—challenging powerful men and deeply rooted traditions.

As danger closes in from all sides, Marya risks her own safety and that of her family to ensure survivors are heard and perpetrators are held accountable. Half Value Life is a gripping portrait of courage, resilience, and one woman’s unwavering fight for justice in a society where a woman’s life is often treated as worth only half as much.
