"My heart was beating so fast watching these women defy the Taliban," Jennifer told the BBC. "You don't see this side of the story, women fighting back, in the news every day and it's an important part of our film, and the stories of these women. They currently have no autonomy within their country. It is so important for them to be given the opportunity to document their own story, in their own way."
The actress added that the project "was born out of emotion and necessity."
The 2023 Cannes Film Festival began last week. Other celebs spotted at the event in recent days include Gigi Hadid, Naomi Campbell, Salma Hayek and Natalie Portman—who also showcased a red hot style.
