    Die letzte Botschafterin

    The Last Ambassador

    2025
    DE – EN

    «The day that changed everything.»

    When the Taliban seized power on August 15, 2021, the Afghan Embassy in Vienna had a prestigious location on Vienna's Ringstrasse, with a dedicated Ambassador in Manizha Bakhtiari. While her function was rendered ambiguous on that day, her critical attitude towards the new rulers has never wavered. Natalie Halla was impressed by this courageous stance and wanted to create an account of the weeks of transition. In fact, it turned into a long-term documentary, THE LAST AMBASSADOR, because three and a half years later, her protagonist is still clinging on to her position and using it to appeal to the world about the shocking situation of women in her country.
