Trailer: 'Rule Breakers' will bring Afghanistan’s first-ever girls’ robotics team to the big screen on March 7

Angel Studios' Rule Breakers stars Nikohl Boosheri and Phoebe Waller-Bridge.

Fifty three members of Congress signed a petition and President Donald Trump intervened to give the girls travel documents on special humanitarian grounds allowing them to enter the US and compete in the robotics games, according to a New York Times profile. The Taliban’s return to power in 2021 reversed years of gender equality and strife for freedom by forbidding women from receiving an education in science and technology, forcing some of the team members to flee their country for their own safety and the right to pursue their future on their terms.
