Maydegol

A young Afghan woman, whose parents have migrated to Iran, dreams of becoming a professional Muay Thai boxer. Facing resistance from her conservative family, the struggles of daily life, and pervasive hostility toward migrants, she remains undeterred. Secretly funding her own training, she sees boxing as more than a path to victory in the ring—it is a means to transcend life’s obstacles. Maydegol captures the indomitable spirit of Generation Z, especially young women, who relentlessly pursue freedom and independence in a world often set against them.
