With unprecedented access inside Takhar Prison in Afghanistan, filmmaker Nima Sarvestani takes us on a compelling journey in his documentary No Burqas Behind Bars.

"I was most impressed by the women prisoners who risked their lives for their rights. It is a most dangerous act to flee from home as woman in Afghanistan," says Sarvestani. The film centers around the lives of 40 women serving time for moral crimes, which can include sentences of up to 15 years for leaving an abusive husband or refusing to consent to arranged marriages.

"Protecting the sacred burial sites of our ancestors is the most fundamental responsibility that we have to those who have gone before us," explains Grand Chief Stewart Phillip from the Union of BC Indian Chiefs.

c̓əsnaʔəm, also known as the Marpole Midden, was designated as a National Historic Site of Canada in 1933. It contains the remains of a Coast Salish winter village as well as artefacts and undisturbed intact burials.

Part of the Midden has been the centre of a growing controversy after condo developers began work on a site in the 1300 block of South West Marine Drive where the intact remains have been found, including those of two infants and another body.
