take a journey in spanish

After the Taliban took over in Afghanistan in 2021, four women — parliamentarians, ministers and journalists — were stripped of their positions of power. Resettling in Canada, the documentary An Unfinished Journey (part of the 2024 Hot Docs Festival in Toronto) documents their continued fight for freedom for women, women's right to education, and pressuring international power to force the Taliban to reverse gender apartheid policies.

Co-director Amie Williams has been living in Greece since 2018 and found out that a group of women airlifted out of Kabul were set to arrive in Athens. She met them through the Melissa Network , an organization for migrant and refugee women in Greece.

"We heard that these women were coming and we discussed, maybe this would be a really good opportunity to go meet them, see what's happened, talk to them, break bread with them, try to give them some solidarity," Williams told Yahoo Canada .

Moving the production to Canada, following three women on their journey, eventually adding a fourth in Canada, Toronto-based co-director Aeyliya Husain was particularly attracted to telling this story.

"I'm interested in women's issues that show my cultural background and about women that shatter the stereotypes and tropes of Muslim women," Husain said. "I met with the women as they started to come here to Canada, ... and then we eventually started filming with them."

Homaira Ayubi served four terms in Afghan parliament and we see her attending protests and meeting politicians in Canada. Zefnoon Safi, from Laghman Province, has a 20-year political career, but had to come to Canada without two of her daughters, who remain trapped in Afghanistan. Nargis Nehan was a minister who worked closely with Afghanistan’s ousted president Ashraf Ghani.   Journalist Nilofar Moradi had openly criticized the Taliban in her work, and resettled in Ottawa with her husband, six-year-old son and seven-month-old daughter.

Throughout An Unfinished Journey , we see these women mobilize a community, crafting a real call to action for women, and governments, all over the world.

"We wanted to highlight everything that the women have accomplished and that they are still accomplishing and doing," Husain said. "They have to have hope, right, in order to carry on, in order to connect."

"They were powerhouse heroines in their own right, in Afghanistan. They overcame incredible obstacles to get to where they were," Williams added. "I just felt like the world needs to know this, that these are hopeful stories, these are stories of incredible strength that all women can benefit from hearing."

'As long as Afghan girls can't go to school, no woman should ever think her life is free'

In terms of creating an environment where all these women felt comfortable to open up to the filmmakers, Williams stressed that they never pushed for their participation, originally in Greece.

"I think they appreciated us visiting them, there was a group of them that were living far from the city and in a rundown hotel, and they were getting quite bored, I think, and just waiting around for the next big bureaucratic hurdle they had to overcome to get their paperwork to Canada," Williams said.

"They also had a lot to protect. ... It's forced migration, they didn't want to be there. The last thing they probably wanted to do was be in a film or talk to a journalist, or a reporter. But it was me and young Afghan and Iranian refugees. So I think we came across very differently than say a CNN crew. It took time and certainly when they got to Canada, it helped that Aeyliya's from a similar cultural background. And it took a lot of time in Canada. It took us over two years to make this film."

"You're building a relationship with them, ... you start off slowly and you start talking to them, and you're open and transparent," Husain added. "You're trying to involve them in the process of what will we film and trying to get them engaged in it."

At the core of this film is that this isn't a story that only impacts Afghan women, it's really a message for all women around the world.

"A lot the women, in even in the film, say, we're not just fighting for rights for women in Afghanistan, but for women all over the world," Husain said. "We need to fight for returning education to young girls, allowing women to go out of their homes, they're basically being erased from public spaces and this is really dangerous."

"We need to look at it as a global community and go, we cannot allow this to happen here, because we cannot allow this to spread and happen to other countries in the world."

Women's rights have been under attack in recent years, including, but certainly not limited to, abortion rights in the U.S .

"It's really terrifying to watch what's happening in the United States from afar and I do think that ... as long as Afghan girls can't go to school, no woman should ever think her life is free," Williams said.

"This isn't just not going to school, it means you can't leave your home. So they're being erased from public view. And I don't see how any woman anywhere can watch this happen and not want to do something."

The filmmakers highlighted that part of creating this project was also to establish an impact campaign.

"We want to get countries like Canada, that has a feminist foreign policy, to make a statement about gender apartheid, and to get it codified in international law," Husain said. "There are a number of senators who are working on this, and we had a screening and Parliament Hill, ... to push them to actually make a statement and to define what gender apartheid is too."

Upcoming screening of An Unfinished Journey in the 2024 Hot Docs Festival is on April 27 at 10:00 a.m. ET at the Hot Docs Ted Rogers Cinema in Toronto

Paris organizers take delivery of Olympic flame at Greek venue of first modern Games

ATHENS, Greece — The  Paris Olympics  flame was formally handed to French organizers on Friday in the all-marble stadium where the first modern Games were held in Athens in 1896.

Greek water polo player Ioannis Fountoulis, the last in a long line of torchbearers, used the flame to light a cauldron at the Panathenaic Stadium. From there, it was delivered to Paris 2024 chief Tony Estanguet.

A few moments of suspense followed as assistants struggled to light the lantern that will carry the flame to France.

“It wants to stay in Greece,” Estanguet joked.

Safely in the lantern, the flame will depart for France on Saturday on a 19th century sailing ship across the Mediterranean Sea, to make landfall 12 days later in the southern port city of Marseille.

The flame was  kindled on April 16  at Olympia in southern Greece, where the ancient games were held for more than 1,000 years from about 776 B.C. to A.D. 393.

From Olympia’s ancient stadium, a relay of torchbearers carried it along a 5,000-kilometer (3,100-mile) route through Greece, which included several islands and  an overnight stop  on the ancient Acropolis.

The Olympic flame will be housed overnight in the French Embassy, to leave Athens’ port of Piraeus on Saturday on the  Belem , a French three-masted sailing ship built in the year of the first modern games in Athens.

The Belem is due in Marseille on May 8, ahead of a relay through France leading to the opening ceremony in Paris.

The Games run from July 26-August 11.

Jeremiah Trotter Jr. begins path to writing his own story with the Eagles

His father's legacy in philadelphia is unforgettable, but the journey jeremiah trotter jr. is about to take as an eagle will be all his own..

Jeremiah Trotter Jr. will write his own story with the Eagles.

Jeremiah Trotter Jr. knows what it means to play in Philadelphia. He grew up around it after all. 

And he knows full well about the weight his name carries among Eagles fans, from the legacy that his father, Jeremiah Trotter Sr., built as the "Axe Man" of those hard-hitting Jim Johnson defenses of the 2000s. 

But he also knows that whatever happens next will be all his own. 

Trotter, who the Eagles moved up to select at 155th overall in the fifth round of the NFL Draft on Saturday over in Detroit, will be staying home to play for the very same organization and city that his father grew beloved in from an accomplished career years prior. 

But he told the media shortly after his selection that he isn't feeling the pressure to live up to that. This is his story now. 

"Honestly, for me, I didn't feel like there was any pressure," Trotter said . "My dad would always talk to me and say 'There ain't no pressure, you're your own player, your own man. You have your own journey.'"

"We're different as far as how we play the game, and I just gotta go out there and be me. Use the tools that God blessed me with, and try, to the best of my ability, try to be the best player I can be as an individual. So I don't feel like there's any pressure to live up to his legacy or anything. I don't feel like there's a weight on my back. I'm just trying to get to work and just be the best I can be. "

He'll still take the No. 54 jersey if it's being offered though. 

"I definitely will ask them if I can wear that," Trotter quipped in response to his interest in the number. "Hopefully, they'll give it to me. I'd really appreciate it."

Welcome home 🦅 @JTrotter_54 | @TrotterJr54 pic.twitter.com/wmJxhhrkwV — Philadelphia Eagles (@Eagles) April 27, 2024

Trotter, a St. Joe's Prep and Clemson product, developed into a force at linebacker within the Tigers' defense.

He said he's not his father when it comes to playstyle, he knows that much. Trotter Sr. was a bigger linebacker who ran downhill and barreled through linemen to get into the offensive backfield. Trotter Jr., meanwhile, described himself more as a mobile, sideline-to-sideline type of tackler who is better suited for the position in today's game. 

But if you go to the film, he can definitely crash through a gap and get to the quarterback, too.

During the 2023 collegiate season, the 21-year old made 5.5 sacks, 88 tackles (54 solo), and caught two interceptions. 

The knocks on him are that he lacks size for his position – Trotter is listed at 6'0" and around 230 pounds – and typical athleticism. However, the instincts, vision of the field, drive, and will to improve, those are all there, the Eagles believe. 

"It's gotta be skillset," general manager Howie Roseman told the media on Saturday of Trotter and the organization's overall approach to drafting. "He's got a skillset, and that's why we drafted him. He's got mentality, that's why we drafted him. And we're looking forward to him being his own person, not having to walk in anyone's footsteps, but creating his own legacy."

And the pen has yet to even hit the page.

Reusable containers a hit with students and the environment

By using reusable containers to take home food from the dining centers, students on the Washington State University Pullman campus are making sustainability a part of their daily lives.

WSU Dining Services began providing reusable containers at Northside Café in August 2023, and due to the success of the pilot program, the program has expanded to the other campus dining centers, Hillside Café and Southside Café.

Since the service was implemented, Dining Services reports the reusable containers program has saved almost 65,000 single-use containers and over 6,000 pounds of waste from the landfill, nearly 42,000 gallons of water, and over 43,000 pounds of greenhouse gas emissions.

“We are very proud of the way students have adopted this program and are making sustainable choices as part of their dining experience,” said Jason Butcherite, associate director of residential dining.

We are very proud of the way students have adopted this program and are making sustainable choices as part of their dining experience. Jason Butcherite, associate director of residential dining Washington State University

A student-informed solution

Dining Services and WSU’s Environmental Sustainability Alliance (ESA) teamed up to find a better solution to disposable take-out containers.

ESA members wanted a reusable container program that was efficient and convenient for students, and Dining Services wanted one that could track daily activity, the number of containers returned, and the environmental impact the program is making.

After extensive research, Dining Services contracted with Topanga.io, a national company known for using technology to help limit the amount of packaging entering landfills. So far, students have returned 97% of the containers checked-out in the dining centers so they can be used again.

“I didn’t expect the return rate to be so high,” said ESA Vice Chair Mason Burns. “The system is easy to use and I’m quite happy with how the program is going.”

How the program works

Students use their phone to obtain a ReusePass, which can be added to their digital wallet for easy access.

Each reusable container has a sticker containing a unique QR code. When a student takes a container to the check-out stand, both the container’s QR code and the student’s ReusePass are scanned, digitally matching the student with that container.

Students are given three days to return their container and are sent a reminder from Topanga if they are late.

“We are impressed with the innovative technology for how it increases efficiency for students, and also for helping us measure the program’s effectiveness,” Butcherite said.

Topanga sends Dining Services monthly environmental impact reports and Butcherite can check an online dashboard to monitor daily activity.

Earth Day Challenge

WSU was one of 14 universities nationwide that participated in Topanga’s ReusePass Earth Day Cross-Campus Challenge April 14–22. Collectively, students at the universities diverted 35,000 single-use containers from waste streams, far exceeding the goal of 20,000 containers. The challenge also spurred an additional 75 WSU students to sign up for ReusePass.

Burns, a resident advisor in Gannon-Goldsworthy Hall, is happy WSU is taking a leading role in reducing waste and said the impact of the reusable containers program is already making a visible impact on campus. Trash cans in residence hall rooms are not filling up as quickly with single-use containers, and the trend extends beyond the residence halls to trash bins all over campus.

“I don’t see trash overflowing as much on the mall or other places, so this program is helping to beautify our campus, too,” he said.
