00:14:08,807 --> 00:14:10,850
We have 6 of 10
classrooms up and running.

179
00:14:12,060 --> 00:14:14,355
The others will be up
in maybe two weeks.

180
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:16,065
Alright, well what's the bad?

181
00:14:17,692 --> 00:14:18,858
That.

182
00:14:19,067 --> 00:14:19,943
How's that bad?

183
00:14:20,068 --> 00:14:21,695
[Roya] 10 classrooms are a
drop in the ocean.

184
00:14:21,820 --> 00:14:23,363
It's not changing anything.

185
00:14:23,488 --> 00:14:24,990
You're changing things
for those girls.

186
00:14:25,115 --> 00:14:30,662
No, we have to grow the girls'
computer classrooms somehow.

187
00:14:32,247 --> 00:14:33,748
You know when your
buddies started Google,

188
00:14:34,708 --> 00:14:36,960
there were other companies
out there winning the race.

189
00:14:37,085 --> 00:14:38,795
Smaller ones you've probably
forgotten about,

190
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:43,342
like Ask Jeeves, Alta Vista,
and some really big guys too.

191
00:14:43,467 --> 00:14:46,428
Yahoo, Microsoft,
were completely dominant.

192
00:14:47,638 --> 00:14:49,138
And then, in comes Google.

193
00:14:49,265 --> 00:14:51,017
And they weren't just better.

194
00:14:51,142 --> 00:14:53,810
They made sure everyone
saw they were better.

195
00:14:54,895 --> 00:14:55,770
So...

196
00:14:56,105 --> 00:14:57,773
[gentle music]

197
00:15:04,780 --> 00:15:05,822
[Ali] For robots?

198
00:15:05,948 --> 00:15:07,532
[Roya] Students build
these robots

199
00:15:07,658 --> 00:15:09,618
and they go to competitions.

200
00:15:09,743 --> 00:15:11,620
And this plan is based on what?

201
00:15:12,663 --> 00:15:14,122
Ten minutes of Googling?

202
00:15:15,332 --> 00:15:17,042
Yes, Googling.

203
00:15:18,002 --> 00:15:19,420
But all night.

204
00:15:21,088 --> 00:15:22,172
I spoke to Samir.
He says he can

205
00:15:22,297 --> 00:15:23,632
introduce me to people
in this world.

206
00:15:23,757 --> 00:15:26,843
Roya, we can barely afford
the computer classrooms,

207
00:15:26,968 --> 00:15:28,095
and now you want
to make robots.

208
00:15:28,220 --> 00:15:30,055
Yeah, we have to spread
the word of what we're doing.

209
00:15:30,888 --> 00:15:32,390
-Winning something big--
-Like that?

210
00:15:33,517 --> 00:15:36,770
Then how about,
an Afghan ice hockey team.

211
00:15:39,230 --> 00:15:42,652
Imagine, an all girls
robotics team,

212
00:15:42,777 --> 00:15:46,322
competing in, in Europe,
in America.

213
00:15:46,447 --> 00:15:48,240
Ok, one small problem.

214
00:15:48,365 --> 00:15:50,700
None of us know
anything about robots.

215
00:15:50,825 --> 00:15:51,785
This will light a fire.

216
00:15:51,910 --> 00:15:54,413
It'll show our girls
in a new light.

217
00:15:55,372 --> 00:15:56,707
It'll show them win.

218
00:15:56,832 --> 00:15:58,167
What girls?

219
00:15:58,292 --> 00:15:59,877
The ones in our classrooms?

220
00:16:00,002 --> 00:16:01,545
Most of them can't get
on Facebook.

221
00:16:01,670 --> 00:16:03,588
And if they did,
their fathers and brothers

222
00:16:03,713 --> 00:16:06,092
would marry them off
or beat them.

223
00:16:06,217 --> 00:16:07,342
They'd beat us.

224
00:16:08,135 --> 00:16:09,928
And you want to fly them
around the world

225
00:16:10,053 --> 00:16:12,222
to computer and
robot competitions?

226
00:16:12,347 --> 00:16:13,432
Yes.

227
00:16:14,933 --> 00:16:16,560
No one from
Afghanistan has ever

228
00:16:16,685 --> 00:16:17,812
done something
like this before.

229
00:16:21,523 --> 00:16:22,648
Girls and robots?

230
00:16:27,822 --> 00:16:30,573
Nothing ever happened unless
someone dreamed it first.

231
00:16:33,660 --> 00:16:35,328
[Iranian rap]

232
00:16:37,038 --> 00:16:39,248
[Ali] Who's going to teach
these girls?

233
00:16:39,375 --> 00:16:41,210
[Roya] You are.
You're the coach.

234
00:16:41,335 --> 00:16:42,418
[Ali] Me?

235
00:16:52,512 --> 00:16:53,763
[tires screeching]

236
00:16:56,933 --> 00:16:58,060
[gun cocking]

237
00:16:58,185 --> 00:16:59,603
Ali!

[tires screeching]

239
00:17:18,497 --> 00:17:19,748
[Ali] Get Down, get down.

240
00:17:19,873 --> 00:17:21,125
[girls screaming]

241
00:17:23,043 --> 00:17:24,628
[intense music]

242

[gunfire]

243
00:17:43,647 --> 00:17:45,232
[music fades]

244
00:18:00,955 --> 00:18:02,332
Everyone okay?

245
00:18:02,958 --> 00:18:03,958
[Ali] Okay?

246
00:18:04,502 --> 00:18:06,002
[Roya] Okay.

247
00:18:08,338 --> 00:18:09,923
Next time their gun won't jam.

248
00:18:10,090 --> 00:18:11,592
[Roya crying]

249
00:18:16,138 --> 00:18:17,472
What do we do now?

250
00:18:20,308 --> 00:18:22,018
We are looking
for girls in Herat

251
00:18:22,143 --> 00:18:24,228
who would like
to learn about robotics.

252
00:18:24,353 --> 00:18:25,897
[Elaha] This will be
the first ever

253
00:18:26,022 --> 00:18:27,900
robotics team for Afghanistan.

254
00:18:28,025 --> 00:18:30,193
We are looking for girls
who are mechanically minded

255
00:18:30,318 --> 00:18:32,570
and want to explore
the world of robots.

256
00:18:32,695 --> 00:18:34,322
[Elaha] This will be
the first ever

257

robotics team for Afghanistan.

258
00:18:36,073 --> 00:18:38,077
We're starting an
all-girls team.

259
00:18:38,202 --> 00:18:42,205
We are looking for girls who
excel at math, math and science

260
00:18:42,330 --> 00:18:44,667
and we will travel all
over the world

261
00:18:44,792 --> 00:18:46,752
to compete with teams
from other countries.

262
00:18:46,877 --> 00:18:50,505
If there's any interest at
all, please tell your friends

-please,

264
00:18:52,048 --> 00:18:54,092
please come to our
meeting on Saturday.

265
00:18:54,217 --> 00:18:55,302
Saturday, at 2,

266
00:18:55,427 --> 00:18:57,428
two o'clock at the
Herat High School for Girls.

267
00:18:57,553 --> 00:18:58,972
It's a great opportunity.

268
00:18:59,097 --> 00:19:00,307
It's a great opportunity.

269
00:19:00,432 --> 00:19:02,308
Please, please come.

[gentle ethnic music]

271
00:19:28,585 --> 00:19:31,087
I didn't expect a parade but...

272
00:19:34,925 --> 00:19:36,133
You're Roya?

273
00:20:01,577 --> 00:20:03,953
[gentle inspirational music]

274
00:20:08,625 --> 00:20:12,712
Sorry but the classroom was
too small so we came here.

275
00:20:25,517 --> 00:20:28,728
[Roya] We are looking for four
girls for the first team.

276
00:20:28,853 --> 00:20:31,648
After that we'll start
a new team each year.

277
00:20:32,482 --> 00:20:34,777
[Roya] And we will travel,
all over the world

278
00:20:34,902 --> 00:20:36,570
to compete against
other countries.

279
00:20:37,778 --> 00:20:39,488
[Roya] My brother Ali has
written a test

280
00:20:39,615 --> 00:20:40,865
with physics and math,

281
00:20:41,700 --> 00:20:43,410
which will help us
choose the team.

282
00:20:48,207 --> 00:20:49,792
These girls are great.

283
00:20:51,835 --> 00:20:54,462
But their parents will
think we are the evil Iblis.

284
00:20:55,672 --> 00:20:57,423
And everyone knows
we were shot at.

285
00:20:57,548 --> 00:20:58,925
They knew and took
the test anyway.

286
00:21:02,928 --> 00:21:04,263
[Ali] Well, that's
in two months.

287
00:21:04,388 --> 00:21:05,765
Much too soon.
We should wait for another.

288
00:21:05,890 --> 00:21:07,517
No, we have to
make it to Washington.

289
00:21:07,642 --> 00:21:09,728
We don't have the funding
and we don't have the girls.

290
00:21:23,158 --> 00:21:25,035
You have a problem with
your car or your motorbike.

291
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,828
This is the woman who brought
computers to our school.

292
00:21:29,038 --> 00:21:31,708
-Ms. Mahboob
-Roya.

293
00:21:32,542 --> 00:21:34,252
I owe you a big thanks.

294
00:21:34,670 --> 00:21:36,212
Taara is very talented.

295
00:21:36,338 --> 00:21:38,632
Mm. That's what she tells us.

296
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:43,803
[Roya] I want to speak to Taara,
to both of you about, um

297
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:45,888
Taara joining our team.

298
00:21:46,013 --> 00:21:50,310
Yes, yes. Thank you.

00:21:52,228 --> 00:21:54,815
[Ahmed] Team? Like a
football team?

300
00:21:56,775 --> 00:21:59,110
In a way, but with robots.

301
00:22:00,695 --> 00:22:02,780
Taara got one of the
highest scores on our test

302
00:22:02,905 --> 00:22:04,032
Robots?

[imitating robot sounds]

304
00:22:08,703 --> 00:22:09,578
It's not funny.

305
00:22:09,705 --> 00:22:14,000
[Ahmed] I think it's funny
unless you're serious.

306
00:22:14,710 --> 00:22:16,962
Ms. Mahboob said
we'll get to build robots.

307
00:22:17,087 --> 00:22:19,088
No Taara, no Roya.

308
00:22:19,213 --> 00:22:22,217
I appreciate you giving Taara
the chance to learn computers,

309
00:22:22,342 --> 00:22:23,927
but now you're
talking nonsense.

310
00:22:24,052 --> 00:22:25,178
[Roya] Can I just tell
you my idea?

311
00:22:25,303 --> 00:22:27,472
[Ahmed] No. Do you think our
girls have the luxury

312
00:22:27,597 --> 00:22:29,057
to play at games like this?

313
00:22:29,182 --> 00:22:30,517
Please?

314
00:22:30,642 --> 00:22:32,893
[Roya] The girls
will learn robotics.

315
00:22:33,018 --> 00:22:34,353
This will help them
win scholarships

316
00:22:34,478 --> 00:22:35,855
to study wherever they want.

317
00:22:36,982 --> 00:22:38,817
You wanted to be an engineer?

You know what going to a
college could mean for me.

319
00:22:44,030 --> 00:22:47,117
Ms. Mahboob is filling girls'
heads with useless talk.

320
00:22:47,992 --> 00:22:50,453
[Ahmed] How do robots
make your life better?

321
00:22:51,413 --> 00:22:52,580
And it's dangerous
to talk about

322
00:22:52,705 --> 00:22:53,873
girls doing this kind of thing.

323
00:22:53,998 --> 00:22:55,917
It's dangerous
not to talk about.

324
00:22:57,377 --> 00:22:58,253
No more of this.

325
00:22:58,378 --> 00:22:59,670

in joining our team?

Yes, definitely.

No, I can't come
to any meetings.

334
00:23:39,502 --> 00:23:41,337
Why? Why did you
take the test?

335
00:23:41,463 --> 00:23:43,715
Because I want to join.

336
00:23:45,008 --> 00:23:48,428
So you want to join but
you're saying you can't.

337
00:23:48,553 --> 00:23:51,263
I can join. I just,
I can't come to any meetings.

338
00:23:52,890 --> 00:23:53,683
Your father.

339
00:23:53,808 --> 00:23:55,685
[Esin] Maybe he would give
permission but,

340
00:23:56,352 --> 00:23:57,687
it doesn't matter.

341
00:23:57,812 --> 00:23:59,898
He's the youngest brother.

342
00:24:00,023 --> 00:24:01,608
[Esin] My uncle,
the oldest brother

343
00:24:01,733 --> 00:24:03,985
makes all the family decisions.

344
00:24:04,110 --> 00:24:07,238
[Esin] When I told him about
your test, he yelled at me

345
00:24:07,363 --> 00:24:09,908
and said it was
a waste of two hours.

346
00:24:18,542 --> 00:24:19,208
No.

347
00:24:19,333 --> 00:24:21,418
[Ali] Esin had one of the
top scores on our test.

348
00:24:21,545 --> 00:24:22,920
Your niece is
really good at math.

349
00:24:23,755 --> 00:24:25,215
Can I explain
what we are doing?

350
00:24:25,340 --> 00:24:26,883
Don't waste my time.

351
00:24:27,008 --> 00:24:28,635
You really think
girls from Herat

352
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:30,928
are going to win an
international competition?

353
00:24:31,053 --> 00:24:31,847
This is insanity.

354
00:24:31,972 --> 00:24:33,515
It's not. I promise you.

355
00:24:34,265 --> 00:24:35,600
I just want to tell you
how we plan to help--

356
00:24:35,725 --> 00:24:37,227
-Rahim: Why? Huh?
-Please?

357
00:24:38,228 --> 00:24:39,728
My answer today, tomorrow

358
00:24:39,855 --> 00:24:42,273
and the day after that
will always be, no.

359
00:24:45,527 --> 00:24:47,112
[upbeat ethnic music]

360
00:24:54,912 --> 00:24:55,995
Is your daughter here?

361
00:24:56,120 --> 00:24:58,207
There. That way.

362
00:25:07,007 --> 00:25:08,425
[video game sounds]

363
00:25:11,052 --> 00:25:12,053
[Roya] Hello?

364
00:25:12,303 --> 00:25:13,888
[music continues]

365
00:25:23,022 --> 00:25:23,898
You are good.

366
00:25:24,065 --> 00:25:26,777
So-So,
Arezo's the master.

367
00:25:28,903 --> 00:25:29,905
Is that true?

368
00:25:31,990 --> 00:25:33,492
[video game sounds]

369
00:25:39,747 --> 00:25:41,833
[Roya] How would you like
to drive a robot?

370
00:25:41,958 --> 00:25:44,418
I thought your test
was going to be hard.

371
00:25:44,543 --> 00:25:45,462
You did really well.

372
00:25:45,587 --> 00:25:47,630
[Arezo] How fast do
these robots go?

373
00:25:47,755 --> 00:25:50,175
[Ali] If we're lucky,
10 kilometers an hour.

374
00:25:50,300 --> 00:25:53,678
About as fast as a sick sheep.
I don't think that's for me.

375
00:25:54,845 --> 00:25:57,682
Yeah, but you get
to drive them in America.

376
00:25:59,558 --> 00:26:01,393
You are taking
your team to America?

377
00:26:01,728 --> 00:26:03,522
[upbeat ethnic music]

378
00:26:06,775 --> 00:26:08,277
[background conversations]

379
00:26:12,905 --> 00:26:14,323
[Roya] You're Haadiya, right?

380
00:26:14,448 --> 00:26:15,533
I'm Abdul.

381
00:26:17,285 --> 00:26:22,373
Wait, you're the robot
lady. And sure, I'm Haadiya.

382
00:26:23,875 --> 00:26:25,585
You took the test
for the robotics team.

383
00:26:26,962 --> 00:26:28,422
It was a joke.

384
00:26:28,547 --> 00:26:30,090
[Roya] Why did you take it then?

385
00:26:30,215 --> 00:26:31,340
Something to do.

386
00:26:32,050 --> 00:26:33,510
Well, your score was no joke.

387
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:36,722
Sorry, I have to go.

388
00:26:43,185 --> 00:26:44,145
Don't say it.

389
00:26:44,270 --> 00:26:45,313
Say what?

390
00:26:45,438 --> 00:26:47,190
Whatever you are thinking.

391
00:26:47,648 --> 00:26:51,527
You might as well start the
Afghan girls ice hockey team,

392
00:26:51,653 --> 00:26:53,447
Afghan girls sailing team,
whatever.

393
00:26:54,738 --> 00:26:57,700
None of that.
I have an idea for dinner.

394
00:26:59,077 --> 00:27:00,203
We just had lunch.

395
00:27:00,370 --> 00:27:01,663
[door bell rings]

396
00:27:04,748 --> 00:27:05,542
Oh no.

397
00:27:05,667 --> 00:27:07,627
I'd love to just
tell you about our plan.

398
00:27:07,752 --> 00:27:09,462
-I can't do it.
-Why not?

399
00:27:09,587 --> 00:27:10,713
I can't.

400
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:15,760
My father is in
the army in Helmand.

401
00:27:16,635 --> 00:27:18,513
We only see him once a year.

402
00:27:19,847 --> 00:27:22,267
I have three little
sisters and no brothers.

403
00:27:22,392 --> 00:27:24,018
It's just my mother and I.

404
00:27:24,768 --> 00:27:26,645
[Haadiya] I have to help
pay for them.

405
00:27:28,105 --> 00:27:28,940
And that's why--

406
00:27:29,065 --> 00:27:30,608
I had to become a boy.

407
00:27:31,693 --> 00:27:33,612
Well, sort of a boy.

408
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:38,700
[Haadiya] I'm sorry. My mother
needs the money.

409
00:27:42,537 --> 00:27:44,288
[gentle music]

410
00:28:03,392 --> 00:28:05,643
You have to let Taara
join the team.

411
00:28:05,768 --> 00:28:08,647
[Ahmed] You come to my house and
tell me what I have to do.

412
00:28:10,190 --> 00:28:11,690
You have Taara building
engines with you

413
00:28:11,817 --> 00:28:13,485
whenever she's not in school.

414
00:28:13,610 --> 00:28:17,238
That's right. It's practical
and she likes it.

415
00:28:17,363 --> 00:28:18,197
I do.

416
00:28:19,073 --> 00:28:20,950
Instead of working on engines,

417
00:28:21,575 --> 00:28:23,202
she will be inventing engines.

418
00:28:36,173 --> 00:28:37,425
You think I like saying no?

419
00:28:39,677 --> 00:28:41,137
I just don't want
you to get hurt.

420
00:28:42,763 --> 00:28:47,393
If the world were a different
place, I would always say yes.

421
00:28:49,603 --> 00:28:50,688
How will things ever change

422
00:28:50,813 --> 00:28:52,940
unless men like you
start saying yes.

423
00:28:53,065 --> 00:28:55,152
Every time I say yes
there's a cost.

424
00:28:55,693 --> 00:28:57,153
More risk, more worry.

425
00:28:57,278 --> 00:28:58,070
[Roya] I understand--

426
00:28:58,195 --> 00:29:00,657
[Ahmed] How could you? You are
a daughter, not a father.

427
00:29:00,782 --> 00:29:04,035
[Roya] I am a daughter. I have
a father who said yes to me.

428
00:29:04,702 --> 00:29:06,287
And it gave me wings.

429
00:29:07,872 --> 00:29:10,375
[Roya] And unless more fathers
start saying yes,

430
00:29:10,500 --> 00:29:11,960
we will always live in fear.

431
00:29:13,377 --> 00:29:14,378
Is that who we are?

432
00:29:18,508 --> 00:29:23,220
Strong words Miss. Mahboob,
from someone so young.

433
00:29:37,193 --> 00:29:38,027
Okay.

434
00:29:42,573 --> 00:29:43,240
Okay. I should leave--

435
00:29:43,365 --> 00:29:45,493
Okay. Taara can join your team.

436
00:29:46,912 --> 00:29:48,872
-That's a yes.
-Yes.

437
00:29:49,622 --> 00:29:51,040
[upbeat ethnic music]

438
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:00,048
Now if you don't mind,
I'm going to finish

439
00:30:00,175 --> 00:30:01,758
rebuilding this engine?

440
00:30:01,885 --> 00:30:04,428
Just in case the robots
don't make us famous.

441
00:30:05,137 --> 00:30:06,347
Us?

442
00:30:06,472 --> 00:30:09,517
You need tools and the
place to work. Right?

443
00:30:10,643 --> 00:30:12,603
That way I can keep
an eye on everything.

444
00:30:15,815 --> 00:30:17,067
[Taara] Thank you.

445
00:30:18,025 --> 00:30:19,610
[upbeat music continues]

[liquid pours]

448
00:30:51,767 --> 00:30:53,018
I called the others, but--

449
00:30:53,143 --> 00:30:54,687
We have to start
with who we have.

450
00:30:55,563 --> 00:30:56,940
Washington is five weeks away.

451
00:30:58,398 --> 00:31:01,235
It takes me five weeks to order
a part for that motorcycle.

452
00:31:05,323 --> 00:31:07,117
Oh, thank you.

453
00:31:07,242 --> 00:31:10,118
So, let's build this robot.

454
00:31:11,997 --> 00:31:12,997
Where is it?

455
00:31:13,122 --> 00:31:15,250
Oh, our kit is about
five kilometers away.

456
00:31:15,375 --> 00:31:16,708
[Arezo] Great. Let's go get it.

457
00:31:16,833 --> 00:31:18,335
But it's stuck in customs

458
00:31:18,460 --> 00:31:19,462
Here.

459
00:31:22,798 --> 00:31:26,177
You said there would be
four of us. I only see two.

460
00:31:26,302 --> 00:31:29,305
I wish there were more of us
too. I'm sure there will be.

461
00:31:29,430 --> 00:31:30,723
And I promise to keep trying.

462
00:31:34,310 --> 00:31:35,478
Sorry to be late.

464
00:31:37,105 --> 00:31:39,190
Meet Haadiya, our third girl.

-Hi.
-Hello.

-I guess I'm four then.
-Hi.

We are going
to Washington.

[upbeat ethnic music]

469
00:32:04,340 --> 00:32:07,385
Until we get the real robot.
This will have to do.

470
00:32:17,895 --> 00:32:19,313
Come to me.

471
00:32:26,028 --> 00:32:27,030
Oh no.

472
00:32:38,123 --> 00:32:39,417
It's like a child
learning to walk.

473
00:32:39,542 --> 00:32:42,920
First it crawls,
then it stands, then it walks.

474
00:32:43,045 --> 00:32:45,757
Then it walks in a straight
line. It's the same here.

475
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:50,010
Every move that the robot
does, it comes from your code.

[music continues]

477
00:32:57,977 --> 00:32:58,895
No.

478
00:32:59,603 --> 00:33:00,355
How can it be, no?

479
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:02,690
I have a text saying
that the box is here.

480
00:33:02,815 --> 00:33:06,110
The text lied.
Wouldn't be the first time.

481
00:33:06,235 --> 00:33:09,447
As in it's not here,
or you won't give it to me.

482
00:33:09,572 --> 00:33:10,615
Come back next week.

483
00:33:17,788 --> 00:33:21,583
It's only temporary until
we get our real robot.

484
00:33:22,293 --> 00:33:23,293
[Samir] It looks good.

485
00:33:24,878 --> 00:33:26,713
Don't worry about
where you start.

486
00:33:27,507 --> 00:33:28,673
It's where you go.

487
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:33,220
Wait, where do you want to go?

488
00:33:41,103 --> 00:33:41,978
Me?

489
00:33:42,605 --> 00:33:45,232
Or all of you?
What do you want?

490
00:33:49,278 --> 00:33:50,530
Okay, someone's
gotta start first.

491
00:33:50,655 --> 00:33:51,738
[laughing]

492
00:33:53,783 --> 00:33:56,327
I really want to go to college

493
00:33:56,452 --> 00:33:58,788
and be a mechanical engineer.

494
00:33:58,913 --> 00:34:00,163
Great. Okay.

495
00:34:01,582 --> 00:34:02,417
[Samir] Okay.

496
00:34:03,708 --> 00:34:07,505
To be a software engineer
and start a company.

497
00:34:09,215 --> 00:34:14,512
To go to England for college
and then for a PhD in New York.

498
00:34:14,637 --> 00:34:16,472
Also great. Yeah.

499
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:21,768
I want a
Red Mustang convertible.

500
00:34:21,893 --> 00:34:22,812
[Samir] Perfect.

501
00:34:25,648 --> 00:34:28,317
But we don't even
have a real robot.

502
00:34:28,442 --> 00:34:29,360
[Samir] You will.

503
00:34:30,987 --> 00:34:33,072
You've got someone
fighting for you.

504
00:34:33,197 --> 00:34:34,698
You won't end up
where you started.

505
00:34:42,582 --> 00:34:44,417
[upbeat ethnic music]

506
00:34:45,208 --> 00:34:46,710
[cheering and laughing]

507
00:35:05,020 --> 00:35:07,690
Our robot has been in
customs for three weeks.

508
00:35:07,815 --> 00:35:11,777
A robot. That thing
looks like a weapon to me.

509
00:35:11,902 --> 00:35:13,528
We are waiting for the
army to look at it.

510
00:35:13,653 --> 00:35:14,822
The army? No, no, no.

511
00:35:14,947 --> 00:35:18,033
It's not a weapon,
it's a, it's a robot kit.

512
00:35:18,158 --> 00:35:20,745
That's what you say.
I give it to you.

513
00:35:20,870 --> 00:35:24,248
Something blows up next
week. Who gets blamed?

514
00:35:25,708 --> 00:35:28,377
Would somebody sending a
weapon ship it through customs?

515
00:35:28,502 --> 00:35:29,878
How stupid would that be?

516
00:35:30,672 --> 00:35:32,423
People do stupid
things every day.

517
00:35:38,428 --> 00:35:40,013
I am so sorry to see you go.

518
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:45,102
We have these. Please use it.

519
00:35:45,227 --> 00:35:46,437
Send me pictures of the team.

520
00:35:48,605 --> 00:35:49,773
Samir,

521
00:35:52,777 --> 00:35:54,528
why do you do this?

522
00:35:54,653 --> 00:35:55,738
-Me?
-You.

523
00:35:59,617 --> 00:36:02,245
You know when I first
arrived in Berkeley for my PhD,

524
00:36:02,370 --> 00:36:05,748
[Samir] I was really still just
a village kid from India

525
00:36:07,082 --> 00:36:09,168
and my advisor, he just
won the Fields Medal,

526
00:36:09,293 --> 00:36:10,920
it's like the
Nobel Prize for math.

527
00:36:12,045 --> 00:36:14,090
and God, I was so intimidated.

528
00:36:15,173 --> 00:36:16,967
I had this idea for a startup.

529
00:36:17,968 --> 00:36:19,303
And this person,

530
00:36:19,887 --> 00:36:22,390
he just gives me all the money
he's won for the medal.

531
00:36:22,515 --> 00:36:25,935
[Samir] All of $15,000 to
start my company.

532
00:36:27,853 --> 00:36:35,152
So Roya Mahboob,
until we meet again.

533
00:36:35,277 --> 00:36:36,653
And again.

534
00:36:37,988 --> 00:36:41,117
So first, always
take off any jewelry.

535
00:36:42,075 --> 00:36:45,245
Now, there are three parts
to a weld: your heat source,

536
00:36:45,370 --> 00:36:49,500
your filler metal right here,
and your shielding gas.

537
00:36:50,083 --> 00:36:51,627
To do the weld properly--

538
00:36:51,752 --> 00:36:53,503
Say hello to our robot.

539
00:36:53,670 --> 00:36:55,005
[rhythmic music]

540
00:36:55,547 --> 00:36:57,090
That's impossible.
I was just there.

541
00:36:57,215 --> 00:36:58,300
[Ali] Well, I have a friend
from college,

542
00:36:58,425 --> 00:36:59,593
whose brother works there.

543
00:36:59,718 --> 00:37:00,803
Who just let it go.

544
00:37:00,928 --> 00:37:04,515
Let's just say I won't be
playing on my Xbox anytime soon

545
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:05,933
and I'll need a new laptop.

546
00:37:24,452 --> 00:37:26,703
[Arezo] I thought we were
getting a robot.

547
00:37:26,828 --> 00:37:28,872
This is just a pile of parts.

548
00:37:28,998 --> 00:37:34,003
[Ali] It will be a robot once we
put it together, somehow.

549
00:37:34,212 --> 00:37:35,963
What do we do first?

550
00:37:36,588 --> 00:37:39,300
They don't tell us.
They just list the parts.

551
00:37:39,425 --> 00:37:40,508
[Roya] That's right.

552
00:37:40,635 --> 00:37:42,260
Every team starts at
the same place.

553
00:37:42,387 --> 00:37:44,180
That's the competition.

554
00:37:48,475 --> 00:37:49,602
Let's build this.

555
00:38:12,917 --> 00:38:14,460
[upbeat music continues]

556
00:38:47,117 --> 00:38:50,078
Okay. Try to get our
girl to weave through.

557
00:38:50,203 --> 00:38:51,455
Not too fast at first.

558
00:38:52,415 --> 00:38:53,498
You're joking.

559
00:38:57,920 --> 00:38:58,920
[Arezo] No.

560
00:39:02,675 --> 00:39:03,758
Let's try again.

561
00:39:09,432 --> 00:39:13,518
[Arezo] No, I beat everyone
in Herat in video games,

562
00:39:13,643 --> 00:39:15,772
where the car moves a
thousand times faster.

563
00:39:15,897 --> 00:39:16,938
[Ali] Try again.

564
00:39:22,193 --> 00:39:23,195
[gentle music]

565
00:39:27,240 --> 00:39:28,200
[Arezo] No.

566
00:39:29,243 --> 00:39:32,037
Oh, this is too hard.

567
00:39:33,538 --> 00:39:34,540
Okay,

568
00:39:36,250 --> 00:39:38,918
Nobody's born knowing
how to do this.

569
00:39:39,043 --> 00:39:40,295
You just have to keep trying.

570
00:39:41,547 --> 00:39:42,923
Why? I'm terrible.

571
00:39:45,092 --> 00:39:49,597
There is this famous Korean
football player, Heung-min Son.

572
00:39:49,722 --> 00:39:50,638
You've heard of him?

573
00:39:51,723 --> 00:39:54,602
At every practice he takes
1000 shots on the goal.

574
00:39:55,477 --> 00:39:57,228
He's the greatest
Asian football player ever.

575
00:39:58,313 --> 00:40:01,233
And still at every
practice another 1000.

576
00:40:02,735 --> 00:40:05,028
The other teams have
driven their robots

577
00:40:05,153 --> 00:40:06,697
thousands of times.

578
00:40:06,822 --> 00:40:10,117
They're much better than us,
but they won't always be.

579
00:40:20,210 --> 00:40:22,087
[music intensifies]

580
00:40:31,222 --> 00:40:32,222
[Arezo] Come to me.

581
00:40:38,270 --> 00:40:39,605
[Ali] Much, much better.

582
00:40:42,107 --> 00:40:43,150
[Haadiya] Nice, Arezo.

583
00:40:43,983 --> 00:40:45,485
[car honking]

584
00:40:50,282 --> 00:40:52,242
[background
construction noises]

585
00:41:08,925 --> 00:41:10,468
[Skype connection tones]

586
00:41:12,638 --> 00:41:14,515
Sorry for all the emails.

587
00:41:15,557 --> 00:41:17,602
You're a very
persistent person, Roya.

588
00:41:17,727 --> 00:41:22,313
Yeah, it's just,
it's our money.

589
00:41:22,438 --> 00:41:25,860
[Roya] My money really. It won't
take us to the finish line,

590
00:41:25,985 --> 00:41:27,737
but we have a first rate team.

591
00:41:28,987 --> 00:41:31,115
No one from the
government there is helping.

592
00:41:31,240 --> 00:41:33,492
[Roya] No, nothing from them
or anyone else.

593
00:41:34,493 --> 00:41:37,872
I, I know that if we can just
get to the competition,

594
00:41:38,913 --> 00:41:40,290
we can win.

595
00:41:42,167 --> 00:41:44,002
It's a tough situation.

596
00:41:49,342 --> 00:41:51,052
Alright, look,

597
00:41:52,177 --> 00:41:56,307
you and Ali train a team that
can really compete. And...

598
00:41:58,850 --> 00:42:00,352
I'll get you to Washington.

599
00:42:02,312 --> 00:42:05,732
[Roya] So then you're, you're
giving-- you're funding us.

600
00:42:05,857 --> 00:42:08,402
Don't ask. My company will.
We'll figure it out.

601
00:42:09,528 --> 00:42:10,947
[Samir] You know why?

602
00:42:11,072 --> 00:42:13,865
I am a very persistent person.

603
00:42:13,990 --> 00:42:14,992
...persistent person.

604
00:42:18,287 --> 00:42:19,330
You are.

605
00:42:20,247 --> 00:42:21,665
[laughing]

606
00:42:24,208 --> 00:42:25,877
The French
team is amazing.

607
00:42:26,462 --> 00:42:27,797
<i>Even in this image.
The climbing bars</i>

608
00:42:27,922 --> 00:42:29,715

try to hang off of hydro,</i>

609
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:30,882
<i>climbs back into--</i>

610
00:42:31,008 --> 00:42:32,425
Good news.

611
00:42:32,550 --> 00:42:33,927
We looked over
your applications

612
00:42:34,052 --> 00:42:37,430
and we've decided to award
Roya and Taara US visas.

613
00:42:38,098 --> 00:42:40,642
What?
What about everyone else?

614
00:42:40,767 --> 00:42:42,477
[Barbara] The others don't
qualify at this time.

615
00:42:42,603 --> 00:42:43,645
This time, no.

616
00:42:43,770 --> 00:42:45,730
We have a competition
in three days.

617
00:42:45,855 --> 00:42:47,692
[Barbara] The two of you
can go compete.

618
00:42:47,817 --> 00:42:48,942
Good luck.

619
00:42:50,110 --> 00:42:51,528
[receding footsteps]

620
00:42:55,240 --> 00:42:57,785
I thought the hardest part
would be convincing your uncle.

621
00:42:58,910 --> 00:43:00,370
How did you do it in the end?

622
00:43:03,332 --> 00:43:05,960
I said if we won,
I would become famous

623
00:43:06,085 --> 00:43:07,795
and attract rich husband.

624
00:43:10,297 --> 00:43:11,298
Of course.

625
00:43:26,230 --> 00:43:27,272
I'm going back in.

626
00:43:27,397 --> 00:43:28,898
Won't do any good.

627
00:43:29,023 --> 00:43:30,275
This is crazy.

628
00:43:34,822 --> 00:43:37,282
[Roya] This makes no sense.
How can two of us get visas

629
00:43:37,407 --> 00:43:38,575
and not the rest of our team?

630
00:43:38,700 --> 00:43:40,035
You wouldn't send a
football team

631
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:41,953
with only half its players.

632
00:43:42,078 --> 00:43:43,580
We all have to go.

633
00:43:44,665 --> 00:43:46,000
We have our policies.

634
00:43:46,125 --> 00:43:49,293
And many, many people
want visas to go to the US

635
00:43:49,420 --> 00:43:53,382
But we have an invitation.

636
00:43:56,593 --> 00:43:58,345
It seems there was an error.

637
00:43:58,470 --> 00:43:59,680
Thank God.

638
00:43:59,805 --> 00:44:03,725
Taara, you've traveled
to Iran in the last five years.

639
00:44:04,810 --> 00:44:06,520
My grandmother lives there.

640
00:44:06,645 --> 00:44:09,607
Well, right now we don't allow
anyone who's recently been

641
00:44:09,732 --> 00:44:11,525
to Iran to come to the US.

642
00:44:11,942 --> 00:44:12,777
Why not?

643
00:44:12,943 --> 00:44:14,193
That's the policy I'm afraid.

644
00:44:14,318 --> 00:44:15,945
So I'm glad you came back.

645
00:44:16,072 --> 00:44:18,948
The Iranian team is going to
be at the same competition.

646
00:44:19,073 --> 00:44:21,285
It's not my concern.
I'm sorry to say.

647
00:44:23,287 --> 00:44:24,162
No.

648
00:44:24,287 --> 00:44:25,955
No one got visas except me.

649
00:44:26,082 --> 00:44:28,375
That's insane.
But I'm a tech reporter.

650
00:44:28,500 --> 00:44:30,335
This sounds like
a political story.

651
00:44:30,460 --> 00:44:32,503
Well you wrote a really nice
article on me

652
00:44:32,628 --> 00:44:35,340
when I first
got for my startup.

653
00:44:35,465 --> 00:44:38,093
It's kind of you to say.
I'm sorry it was so short.

654
00:44:38,927 --> 00:44:40,553
It meant everything to me.

655
00:44:41,763 --> 00:44:42,807
But more than that, you are

656
00:44:42,932 --> 00:44:45,100
the only western
journalist that I know.

657
00:44:51,022 --> 00:44:53,025
[gentle guitar music]

00:44:56,945 --> 00:44:59,948
<i>Au revoir. I'll see you
in Washington, everyone.</i>

660
00:45:14,003 --> 00:45:15,880
[background conversations]

661
00:45:27,100 --> 00:45:28,518
[Ali] It came out!

662
00:45:30,145 --> 00:45:30,978
Oh,

663
00:45:40,613 --> 00:45:41,823
This is Roya.

664
00:45:47,997 --> 00:45:49,288
It's the New York Times.

665
00:45:50,957 --> 00:45:52,793
The US has refused visas for

666
00:45:52,918 --> 00:45:55,128
the Afghan Dreamers
Girls robotics team.

667
00:45:55,253 --> 00:45:57,213
[News] Thousands of high school
students are arriving here in

668
00:45:57,338 --> 00:45:59,675
Washington this week
from around the world.

00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:01,927
Robotics teams from
Hong Kong to Hungary,

670
00:46:02,052 --> 00:46:03,303
Belgium to The Bahamas.

671
00:46:03,428 --> 00:46:04,597
The Afghan Dreamers.

672
00:46:04,722 --> 00:46:06,432
Four girls from
Herat, Afghanistan

673
00:46:06,557 --> 00:46:08,308
have been blocked from
traveling here.

674
00:46:08,433 --> 00:46:10,977
Despite the fact
that 157 other countries

675
00:46:11,102 --> 00:46:12,813
are competing in Washington.

676
00:46:12,938 --> 00:46:15,482
Some of which, are on this
administration's watch list.

677
00:46:15,648 --> 00:46:17,275
Including Iran and Somalia.

678
00:46:20,403 --> 00:46:22,530
The goal of the
upcoming competition is

679
00:46:22,655 --> 00:46:23,782
to bring together teens

680
00:46:23,907 --> 00:46:26,993
of nations from across the
globe, free of politics.

681
00:46:38,005 --> 00:46:39,047
Why is the United States

682
00:46:39,172 --> 00:46:42,717
even in Afghanistan if we
can't give one week long visas

683
00:46:42,843 --> 00:46:46,137
to a team that is promoting
education for girls?

684
00:46:46,263 --> 00:46:47,513
How does Roya Mahboob

685
00:46:47,638 --> 00:46:51,602
and her team of teenage girls
represent a threat to anyone?

686
00:46:51,727 --> 00:46:53,770
All these people speaking
up for us are great, but...

687
00:46:54,228 --> 00:46:56,190
the competition starts
the day after tomorrow.

688
00:46:57,190 --> 00:46:59,527
She is STEM for girls there.

689
00:46:59,652 --> 00:47:02,028
[Emma] Afghanistan is a
vibrant culture

690
00:47:02,153 --> 00:47:06,742
with some extraordinary people,
one of whom is Roya Mahboob.

691
00:47:06,867 --> 00:47:07,993
[Emma] And all she's asking for

692
00:47:08,118 --> 00:47:09,202
is a chance for her
girls to come

693
00:47:09,327 --> 00:47:11,663
to the US
and be treated as equals.

694
00:47:14,207 --> 00:47:15,917
[music intensifies]

695
00:47:19,087 --> 00:47:20,297
[Ali] Can we go any faster?

696
00:47:20,422 --> 00:47:22,507
We only have 46 minutes
before the flight.

697
00:47:22,632 --> 00:47:23,592
I'm trying.

698
00:47:23,717 --> 00:47:25,427
[Roya] Try harder please.

699
00:47:25,552 --> 00:47:27,262
There's only one fight
left to Kabul tonight.

700
00:47:27,387 --> 00:47:28,930
If we miss it, we're dead.

701
00:47:44,153 --> 00:47:45,322
[Agent] Have a nice flight.

702
00:47:45,947 --> 00:47:47,198
[Roya] Passports.

703
00:47:49,367 --> 00:47:51,703
Hi. I didn't think we
would make it.

704
00:47:51,828 --> 00:47:53,872
[Agent] You're fine.
With time to spare.

705
00:47:53,997 --> 00:47:55,207
Ah, six for Kabul.

706
00:47:55,873 --> 00:47:57,583
[Agent] That's your
final destination?

707
00:47:58,252 --> 00:47:59,962
And Washington
tomorrow morning.

708
00:48:00,087 --> 00:48:02,755
America. Do you have visas?

709
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:04,758
Yes. Waiting for us in Kabul.

710
00:48:08,387 --> 00:48:11,973
Oh, we only have
two seats left.

711
00:48:12,098 --> 00:48:12,890
What?

712
00:48:13,017 --> 00:48:14,643
No, no, no, no.
We need six.

713
00:48:14,768 --> 00:48:15,727
I'm sorry.

714
00:48:18,688 --> 00:48:19,690
Alright.

715
00:48:25,737 --> 00:48:28,657
[Agent] I did my best.
I'm so sorry.

716
00:48:34,955 --> 00:48:37,082
Can I have everyone's
attention please?

717
00:48:38,250 --> 00:48:39,333
You don't know who I am,

718
00:48:39,458 --> 00:48:41,337
but I am the coach

719
00:48:41,462 --> 00:48:43,588
for the Afghan Dreamers
girls robotics team.

720
00:48:44,923 --> 00:48:47,550
We have our first
competition in Washington

721
00:48:47,675 --> 00:48:49,552
and we need to fly there
tomorrow morning.

722
00:48:50,970 --> 00:48:52,888
If, if we don't get
on this flight,

723
00:48:54,015 --> 00:48:55,683
we can't go to the competition.

724
00:48:56,643 --> 00:48:58,478
We just need four seats.

725
00:49:00,272 --> 00:49:02,940
Please if, if anyone can help?

726
00:49:03,983 --> 00:49:05,443
Please?

727
00:49:15,287 --> 00:49:16,372
You can have my seat.

728
00:49:17,455 --> 00:49:18,457
Thank you.

729
00:49:25,213 --> 00:49:26,715
And my seat.

730
00:49:28,467 --> 00:49:29,550
Thank You.

731
00:49:30,260 --> 00:49:31,260
And my seat too.

732
00:49:33,388 --> 00:49:34,472
Thank you.

733
00:49:34,890 --> 00:49:37,308
Kabul is a dirty city
who want to go there.

734
00:49:39,060 --> 00:49:40,353
Take mine too.

735
00:49:41,187 --> 00:49:42,022
[Roya]Thank you.

Great.

738
00:49:47,818 --> 00:49:49,445
We're so happy this worked out.

740
00:49:58,538 --> 00:49:59,622
To the plane.

741
00:49:59,748 --> 00:50:00,707
Let's go.

742
00:50:18,267 --> 00:50:19,642

Hi, you're Roya, right?

746
00:50:59,767 --> 00:51:01,392
-And team.
-Hi.

747
00:51:01,518 --> 00:51:03,603
We're so happy you made it. I'm
from the organizing committee.

748
00:51:10,152 --> 00:51:12,695
Hi. Okay, I'll show you around.
Come on.

749
00:51:17,200 --> 00:51:19,368
[Chris] So this is the pit area.

750
00:51:19,493 --> 00:51:21,120
Everyone gets a place
to work on their robot

751
00:51:21,245 --> 00:51:22,830
and we saved a spot for you.

752
00:51:23,665 --> 00:51:25,125
We also have a
practice ring back there,

753
00:51:25,250 --> 00:51:26,752
where you can test your robot.

754
00:51:26,877 --> 00:51:28,085
[Chris] I'm sure you
brought your tools,

755
00:51:28,212 --> 00:51:30,463
but if you're missing
something just ask the people

756
00:51:30,588 --> 00:51:34,342
around you because around here
everyone helps each other. So--

761
00:51:57,073 --> 00:51:59,575
Hi, my name is Laurens
from Holland.

762
00:51:59,700 --> 00:52:02,412
If you need anything, tools,
places to eat around here,

763
00:52:02,537 --> 00:52:04,205
anything we're happy to help.

764
00:52:04,330 --> 00:52:09,627
I'm Ali and this is Taara,
Haadiya, Arezo and Esin.

765
00:52:10,878 --> 00:52:12,297
Just let me know.

[upbeat music continues]

767
00:52:16,383 --> 00:52:19,428
Being the only girl in
the all-boys team has been

768
00:52:19,847 --> 00:52:23,015
a little, little scary.

769
00:52:23,140 --> 00:52:24,058
I like robots

770
00:52:24,183 --> 00:52:26,645
and all the people
that I know here love robots.

771
00:52:26,770 --> 00:52:28,897
In robotics there is no limits.

772
00:52:29,022 --> 00:52:31,440
There is no barrier
of any sort.

773
00:52:31,567 --> 00:52:33,777
There's nothing like
I'm a girl, I'm a boy.

774
00:52:40,825 --> 00:52:43,160
We always go to each other.
Everybody helps each other

775
00:52:56,842 --> 00:52:58,677

[music slows]

779
00:53:09,228 --> 00:53:10,688
Not that.

780
00:53:15,110 --> 00:53:17,112
I was asking
Allah's forgiveness

781
00:53:17,237 --> 00:53:19,238
for touching that boy.

782
00:53:19,363 --> 00:53:22,992
Allah forgives that
I'm 100% sure.

783
00:53:33,085 --> 00:53:35,755
The other teams in this
competition had their robots

784
00:53:35,880 --> 00:53:37,673
for four months to prepare.

785
00:53:37,798 --> 00:53:40,927
The Afghan girls had
theirs for just two weeks.

786
00:53:47,767 --> 00:53:49,643
[indistinct chatter]

787
00:53:59,947 --> 00:54:03,950
We are going to have a good
day tomorrow. I can feel it.

788
00:54:04,075 --> 00:54:05,410
We can't embarrass ourselves

789
00:54:05,535 --> 00:54:07,828
and we can't
embarrass our country.

790
00:54:07,953 --> 00:54:09,957
Of course we're not going
to embarrass our country.

791
00:54:10,082 --> 00:54:11,708
No one is going
to be embarrassed.

792
00:54:11,833 --> 00:54:16,253
Have you seen those other
teams? They're so good.

793
00:54:16,378 --> 00:54:18,047
It's like they were
raised by robots

794
00:54:18,172 --> 00:54:20,592
And they've had
months to prepare.

795
00:54:20,717 --> 00:54:21,677
It's not fair.

796
00:54:21,802 --> 00:54:24,178
Girls who said
it was going to be fair.

797
00:54:26,097 --> 00:54:27,682
[Roya] It's hard to be
from Afghanistan.

798
00:54:29,267 --> 00:54:30,477
It's hard to be women there.

799
00:54:30,602 --> 00:54:33,355
It's hard to have so
little time to get ready.

800
00:54:35,898 --> 00:54:36,942
But we are strong.

801
00:54:38,067 --> 00:54:42,405
And we can complain
or we can fight.

802
00:54:55,710 --> 00:54:57,545
[crowd cheering]

803
00:55:00,840 --> 00:55:06,428
Welcome to First Robotics,

805
00:55:09,223 --> 00:55:13,185

France.

812
00:56:07,740 --> 00:56:09,825
And the final team
of the night.

813
00:56:09,950 --> 00:56:11,243
Is the home team,

814
00:56:11,368 --> 00:56:14,122

[music and cheering continues]

816
00:56:28,720 --> 00:56:30,972
We are truly honored
to be your judges.

817
00:56:31,807 --> 00:56:34,433
As we look out before us
is a sea of students,

from countries
across our planet,

819
00:56:36,978 --> 00:56:38,772

[crowd clapping]

821
00:56:41,440 --> 00:56:44,318
But this competition
isn't just about robots,

822
00:56:44,443 --> 00:56:45,903
it's about far more.

823
00:56:46,653 --> 00:56:50,073
It's about people achieving
their true potential.

824
00:56:50,200 --> 00:56:53,537
And remember, this is
the only sport in the world

825
00:56:53,662 --> 00:56:56,038
where every one of you
can turn pro.

826
00:56:56,915 --> 00:56:58,708
Let the games begin.

887
00:59:33,822 --> 00:59:34,905
[Laurens] You were so fantastic.

888
00:59:35,030 --> 00:59:36,573
We want you to sign our shirts.

889
00:59:39,660 --> 00:59:41,037
Yeah, of course.

Okay,

Are you nervous?

905
01:00:30,545 --> 01:00:31,628
No.

906
01:00:33,005 --> 01:00:34,882
Well, yes. You?

The world can be
a very divided place,

913
01:01:07,207 --> 01:01:10,418
but with the amazing
brainpower of you in this room,

914
01:01:10,543 --> 01:01:11,460
we can all come together

915

the world's problems.

916
01:01:14,588 --> 01:01:16,340
Every team here wins
in our eyes.

917
01:01:17,383 --> 01:01:20,928
But, we promised you a
competition with medals.

918
01:01:24,890 --> 01:01:25,892
[Announcer] So here we go.

919
01:01:29,103 --> 01:01:31,105

award the silver medal to...

We tried, we gave it
everything we had.

926
01:02:17,277 --> 01:02:20,988
And before awarding gold,
your judges have decided

927
01:02:21,113 --> 01:02:23,365
to award a special
silver medal,

928
01:02:23,825 --> 01:02:26,243

929
01:02:27,495 --> 01:02:30,957

We honor your
great achievement.

beautiful they are.

944
01:03:51,078 --> 01:03:52,372
The girls are so happy.

945
01:03:52,497 --> 01:03:54,540
It's like they won a
medal at the Olympics.

946
01:03:54,665 --> 01:03:56,833
Yeah, you actually
have to win the race

947
01:03:56,958 --> 01:03:58,920
to get a medal at the Olympics.

948
01:03:59,045 --> 01:04:01,172
Roya, Ali, you have to
be in the pictures too.

949
01:04:01,297 --> 01:04:03,925
Come, come, come here.

950
01:04:04,050 --> 01:04:07,803

now we have to show we can win.

01:05:26,382 --> 01:05:27,300
You must be very proud.

964
01:05:27,425 --> 01:05:29,968
No, I'm not.
I'm ashamed.

965
01:05:30,093 --> 01:05:31,387
[Rahim] On my way here,

966
01:05:31,512 --> 01:05:33,222
my son showed me

touching boys in Washington.

968
01:05:35,265 --> 01:05:37,685
And they're on Facebook
where everyone can see.

969
01:05:38,560 --> 01:05:40,813
No one is touching,
she signed his shirt.

970
01:05:40,938 --> 01:05:42,315
It's a custom in sports.

971
01:05:42,440 --> 01:05:43,607
Come here, we're leaving.

01:05:47,235 --> 01:05:51,532

to me. Have some food.

My niece is a child.

976
01:05:56,412 --> 01:05:57,830
I should never allowed her
to go to America.

977
01:05:57,955 --> 01:05:59,873
This is the Taliban winning.

978
01:05:59,998 --> 01:06:02,543
They want our girls
to feel dirty and inferior.

979
01:06:03,210 --> 01:06:04,420
Is that what you want?

980
01:06:04,545 --> 01:06:06,547

You shouldn't be walking alone.

986
01:06:58,515 --> 01:06:59,517
I don't care.

987
01:07:01,477 --> 01:07:04,230
It doesn't matter where we go
or what we do or accomplish.

988

We come back here.
Everything is exactly the same.

That was sent to
Taara's father.

It's from the Taliban.

991
01:07:20,703 --> 01:07:22,748
It says his daughter is
a western girl

992
01:07:22,873 --> 01:07:24,833
and if he wants to
stay in business,

993
01:07:25,877 --> 01:07:27,252
she has to quit the team.

994
01:07:29,255 --> 01:07:30,297
That was fast.

995
01:07:31,465 --> 01:07:32,633
It's hopeless.

What?

1005
01:08:20,263 --> 01:08:22,265
I ordered special

You did?

You're young.

01:08:49,877 --> 01:08:52,295
You need to see the road ahead.

roadblocks. Same as always.

Yes, yes, yes.

It seems terrible,

1016
01:09:00,095 --> 01:09:03,640
but I get mad when people
say everything is just

1017
01:09:03,765 --> 01:09:04,892
the same as it ever was.

1018
01:09:06,185 --> 01:09:07,268

[Abdul] When the
Taliban run things,

1020
01:09:10,105 --> 01:09:12,650
my daughters couldn't leave
their house without a man.

1021
01:09:13,900 --> 01:09:16,737
Women couldn't be
on radio or television.

1022
01:09:16,862 --> 01:09:20,407
Women could be beaten for
not wearing their burqa.

1023
01:09:21,700 --> 01:09:24,995
And teenage girls
going to school.

1024
01:09:26,288 --> 01:09:28,457
That was something
for other countries.

1025
01:09:28,582 --> 01:09:33,587
But look at how they
treat me, worse, the girls.

1026
01:09:33,712 --> 01:09:38,508
[Abdul] Badly, but most of
them are in their caves

1027
01:09:38,633 --> 01:09:39,843
with their goats.

1028
01:09:44,598 --> 01:09:46,892
Even if that were true,
may not be for long.

1029
01:09:49,143 --> 01:09:51,230
I really thought that
I could change things.

1030
01:09:51,355 --> 01:09:53,357
If the Taliban is mad at you,

1031
01:09:54,733 --> 01:09:58,487
that means you have.
Just not finished.

1032
01:10:11,708 --> 01:10:12,542
That could work.

1034
01:10:14,628 --> 01:10:17,380
We won a medal.
We're not quitting now.

But your families?
Esin, your uncle?

1036

My uncle says I'm horrible and
he's washing his hands of me.

Whatever bad thing happens
next. It's my business.

this just right here.

something like that.

But change the way
the arm moves.

everything around here.

love robots. That's enough.

1233
01:28:50,493 --> 01:28:54,288
But, you are not speaking
for all of us.

1234
01:28:56,498 --> 01:28:58,292
I have made a huge mistake.

1235
01:28:59,335 --> 01:29:01,253
You didn't force us
to do anything.

1236
01:29:03,338 --> 01:29:06,133
You gave us a chance to be...

1237
01:29:07,718 --> 01:29:09,970
more than we could have
ever even dreamed.

1238
01:29:11,680 --> 01:29:15,183
So you can speak for yourself,

1239
01:29:15,308 --> 01:29:18,103
but you don't speak for me.

1240
01:29:19,813 --> 01:29:23,650

1241
01:29:23,777 --> 01:29:25,318
It's, it's too much.

what he was getting into,

what he was letting
me get into.

1244
01:29:37,707 --> 01:29:41,377
He thought it was worth it,
to have a chance.

1245
01:29:44,797 --> 01:29:46,757
[Taara] He wanted me to do this.

1246
01:29:53,848 --> 01:29:55,140
We are strong.

We are not children.

1251
01:30:06,985 --> 01:30:10,322
We have to fight too.
And this is how we do it.

1252
01:30:12,158 --> 01:30:13,367
But you are children.

1253
01:30:13,492 --> 01:30:16,120
[Esin] No we're not.

1255
01:30:27,465 --> 01:30:28,673

Now you're all from
different nations,

1264
01:31:42,873 --> 01:31:45,835
but you have come
here today in the hope

1265
01:31:45,960 --> 01:31:48,087
that we can together
build a better future

1266
01:31:48,212 --> 01:31:50,422
through our common
language of science

1267
01:31:50,548 --> 01:31:53,133

[crowd cheering]

1269
01:31:55,427 --> 01:31:57,095
And starting tomorrow,

1270
01:31:57,555 --> 01:31:59,807
we'll see some of the
most exciting

1271
01:31:59,932 --> 01:32:04,853

[crowd cheering]

1274
01:32:11,027 --> 01:32:13,820
Now what makes this
competition unique,

1275
01:32:14,655 --> 01:32:16,407
is that your robots
were designed

1276
01:32:16,532 --> 01:32:19,202
to address the problems
facing our planet today.

1277
01:32:20,452 --> 01:32:22,120
And as part of that,
there's an important

1278
01:32:22,247 --> 01:32:24,707
marketing component
to the competition.

1279
01:32:25,123 --> 01:32:29,337
Teams will be judged on
innovation, effectiveness,

1280
01:32:29,462 --> 01:32:31,838
performance, and also

1281
01:32:32,423 --> 01:32:34,550
your ability to
convince your peers

1282
01:32:34,675 --> 01:32:36,343
of the importance
of your invention.

1283
01:32:38,178 --> 01:32:42,098
And that is the reason
that this event is considered

1284
01:32:42,223 --> 01:32:44,560
one of the most important
robotic competitions

1285

Wait, where are we going

It's just like

We're behind before we start.

1302
01:33:36,153 --> 01:33:37,488
We'll be fine.

1303
01:33:37,613 --> 01:33:39,823
Okay, here's what we do.

1304
01:33:39,948 --> 01:33:41,992

At the same time,

1308
01:33:46,288 --> 01:33:47,205
Taara will go around

1309
01:33:47,332 --> 01:33:48,665
and tell the teams
about our robot

of the score.

-Good.

01:33:53,670 --> 01:33:54,880
But?

1313
01:33:56,132 --> 01:33:57,842
I wish I was just
doing the robot.

1314
01:33:57,967 --> 01:33:58,883
I know.

1315
01:33:59,552 --> 01:34:01,012
But it's a quarter
of our points.

1316
01:34:02,472 --> 01:34:04,765
One of the greatest-- No.

1317

Okay. One of the
biggest dangers

1319
01:34:12,272 --> 01:34:14,650
to people in the world
are landmines.

1320
01:34:14,775 --> 01:34:18,153
78 countries have
unexploded landmines.

1321
01:34:18,278 --> 01:34:21,657
Last year close to 10,000
people were hurt or killed.

1322

And most were people
not fighting in the wars.

how many are children?

to say that.

Okay.

1326

Almost half the civilians
who die are children.

01:34:39,007 --> 01:34:40,258
Something else I missed.

1328
01:34:41,635 --> 01:34:46,098
Just, I could never do
what you're doing.

1329
01:34:49,435 --> 01:34:50,685
Sure you could.

of hearing this.

dumped pollutants.

01:36:34,582 --> 01:36:38,335
Their is sonar in her head,
so the fish can see underwater.

And inside is a computer.

1364

Traditional water robots
use propellers or thrusters,

01:36:44,633 --> 01:36:47,512
but we are using the
fish's fin for propulsion.

This right side
door's pretty bent,

1374
01:37:23,172 --> 01:37:25,507
but I think we'll be able
to bend it back.

Do you have a welder?

1406
01:38:54,053 --> 01:38:55,013
[Jesus] Do we have a welder?

1407
01:38:55,138 --> 01:38:57,057
[Jesus] Listen to this.
Yeah, we got a welder.

1408
01:38:57,182 --> 01:38:59,267
Can we use it?
We'll pay you for it.

1409
01:38:59,393 --> 01:39:00,435
You know how to weld?

1410
01:39:00,560 --> 01:39:02,228
[Roya] No, not me, but she does.

1411
01:39:03,897 --> 01:39:05,440
This little girl welds?

Arezo finish building with me.

1414
01:39:15,325 --> 01:39:17,662
Esin, Haadiya, you're going to
have to talk to other teams.

1415
01:39:18,787 --> 01:39:21,915
That's what Taara does.
She's the talker. Not us.

1416
01:39:22,040 --> 01:39:23,125
I'm a hardware person.

1417
01:39:23,250 --> 01:39:24,543
I'm a software person.

1418
01:39:25,543 --> 01:39:28,297
We need Taara to do this.
That's always been the plan.

1419
01:39:28,422 --> 01:39:30,548
Taara's been practicing.
She knows what to say.

1420
01:39:30,673 --> 01:39:32,050
So do you.

1421
01:39:32,175 --> 01:39:33,052
I can't.

1422
01:39:34,010 --> 01:39:35,053
I really can't.

Ah, Jesus.

1427
01:39:53,613 --> 01:39:57,117
Your name is Jesus.
Like the Christian prophet?

1428
01:39:57,242 --> 01:40:00,078
Yeah. You got
a problem with that?

1429
01:40:00,203 --> 01:40:03,082
No, my father's name
is Mohammed.

1430

I can't do this.

Can I show you something?

1434
01:40:38,283 --> 01:40:39,325
Sure.

1435
01:40:40,160 --> 01:40:41,328
[Haadiya] Something...

1436
01:40:42,913 --> 01:40:45,165
Something that I,

1437
01:40:49,628 --> 01:40:52,213
-[Petra] Oh, I'm sorry.
-Esin...

1438

What she-- I...

1439
01:41:02,850 --> 01:41:07,478
What we wanted to say,
is that our robot is

1440
01:41:08,147 --> 01:41:09,397
for mines to...

1441
01:41:14,612 --> 01:41:15,862
One of the biggest dangers

1442
01:41:15,987 --> 01:41:18,115
to people in the world
are landmines.

1443
01:41:19,073 --> 01:41:22,160
Our robot doesn't stop
the mines from working.

1444
01:41:22,285 --> 01:41:24,788
That's for, for...

1445
01:41:24,913 --> 01:41:27,290
-the army?
-Yes.

1446
01:41:27,623 --> 01:41:28,750
The army.

1447
01:41:28,875 --> 01:41:31,920
Our robot finds the mines
and it's very light.

1448
01:41:32,753 --> 01:41:35,215
So light that it won't
set off the small mines

1449
01:41:35,340 --> 01:41:37,175
by rolling over them.

1450
01:41:37,300 --> 01:41:39,887
Those are the most common
mines in Afghanistan.

1451
01:41:40,012 --> 01:41:41,095
And the world.

1452
01:41:41,972 --> 01:41:44,140
Our robot has a metal detector

1453
01:41:44,265 --> 01:41:45,683
and when it finds
something in the dirt,

1454
01:41:45,808 --> 01:41:47,685
it automatically stops.

1455
01:41:53,150 --> 01:41:54,693

Really?

1458
01:41:57,905 --> 01:41:58,905
Yeah.

1459
01:42:04,202 --> 01:42:06,788
Our cane uses laser-based tech,

1460
01:42:06,913 --> 01:42:09,667
which measures the distance
to obstacles in a path.

1461
01:42:09,792 --> 01:42:12,920
This wheel in front guides the
person with impaired vision

1462
01:42:13,045 --> 01:42:15,838
by gently pulling them
to the left or right

1463
01:42:15,963 --> 01:42:19,843
and around obstacles to take
them wherever they want to go.

1464
01:42:19,968 --> 01:42:22,803
Our robotic cane will
be highly affordable.

1465
01:42:22,930 --> 01:42:25,973
There are over 250 million
people in the world

1467
01:42:27,475 --> 01:42:29,060
And we hope to
improve the lives of

Oh, we're working on it.

1481
01:43:07,140 --> 01:43:08,475
Well, you have 35 minutes.

1482
01:43:08,600 --> 01:43:09,475

1483
01:43:09,602 --> 01:43:10,810
the rules are,
you'll have to forfeit.

1484
01:43:10,935 --> 01:43:12,853
No, we'll be ready.
I, I promise.

-Hector.
-Yeah. Yeah.

Do the weld, man.

1487
01:43:16,442 --> 01:43:18,568
No, I know exactly how it
needs to be done.

[Taara] Where's the helmet?

1491
01:43:22,655 --> 01:43:23,782
She always like this?

1492
01:43:23,907 --> 01:43:24,908
[Taara] I need gloves.

1493
01:43:25,033 --> 01:43:26,618
She lost her father recently.

1494
01:43:28,162 --> 01:43:30,538
What happened?

1495
01:43:31,290 --> 01:43:32,540
Um, a bombing.

01:43:33,208 --> 01:43:34,627

1497
01:43:36,628 --> 01:43:37,587
No.

you guys have?

Let's do it.

1503
01:43:50,892 --> 01:43:55,105
Our robot, Peggy, is intended
for search and rescue missions.

1504
01:43:55,938 --> 01:43:58,567
There is great values for
robots to have legs so

1505
01:43:58,692 --> 01:44:01,695
that they can get to places
where wheels would get stuck.

1506
01:44:01,820 --> 01:44:04,698
With our robot, we can be
a part of rescue efforts

1507
01:44:04,823 --> 01:44:06,283
and help save the
lives of those

1508
01:44:06,408 --> 01:44:07,783

injured or trapped.

where the mines are.

all about that.

are building robots?

Yes. We love it.
We study computers too.

all the other teams?

I wouldn't miss it
for anything.

the mine explodes.

01:49:16,760 --> 01:49:20,305
Our robot is
designed for them. Arezo...

1581
01:49:23,850 --> 01:49:26,853
It's inexpensive to build
and easy to assemble.

1582
01:49:26,978 --> 01:49:30,107
So anyone can build them
out of old car parts.

1583
01:49:31,232 --> 01:49:33,735
At the front of the robot,
is a metal detector.

1584
01:49:34,777 --> 01:49:37,655
Once the mine is identified,
the robot beeps,

1585
01:49:37,780 --> 01:49:39,782
and marks the spot with paint.

1586
01:49:43,202 --> 01:49:46,623
We don't remove the mines.
That's for the army.

1587
01:49:46,748 --> 01:49:47,998
[Esin] But knowing
where they are

1588
01:49:48,123 --> 01:49:50,668
is the most important thing.

1589
01:49:50,793 --> 01:49:54,005
And as the robot moves,
it paints out lines to show

1590
01:49:54,130 --> 01:49:57,383
where it is checked for mines
and where it's now safe to go.

1591
01:49:59,218 --> 01:50:02,888
We hope that we can produce
lots of these robots one day.

1592
01:50:03,765 --> 01:50:05,308
[Esin] We will also give
the design

1593
01:50:05,433 --> 01:50:07,060
to people in
other countries

1594
01:50:07,185 --> 01:50:09,478
so they can build these
robots themselves.

1595
01:50:10,730 --> 01:50:15,027
Our goal is to save
lives all over the world.

1596
01:50:15,235 --> 01:50:17,028
[crowd cheering]

1597
01:50:22,825 --> 01:50:24,618
[Jesus whoops]

1598
01:50:45,973 --> 01:50:46,975
Good luck.

1599
01:50:47,100 --> 01:50:48,308
You too.

1600
01:50:49,685 --> 01:50:51,020
[crowd cheering]

1601
01:50:57,568 --> 01:50:59,695
[Jessica] The great
Isaac Newton said

1602
01:50:59,820 --> 01:51:01,655
in his first law of physics.

1603
01:51:01,782 --> 01:51:04,867
A body at rest tends
to stay at rest.

1604
01:51:04,992 --> 01:51:07,453
A body in motion
tends to stay in motion.

1605
01:51:08,622 --> 01:51:11,917
And all of you here,
are in motion.

1606
01:51:12,958 --> 01:51:15,170
And are leading us into
the future of science

1607
01:51:15,295 --> 01:51:17,922
in a way which brings
us all so much hope.

1608
01:51:18,047 --> 01:51:19,340
[crowd applauds]

1609
01:51:20,175 --> 01:51:24,387
Today was a competition
and a game in some way.

1610
01:51:25,597 --> 01:51:27,515
But it's also serious business.

1611
01:51:27,640 --> 01:51:29,850
Because in our times
we are confronted

1612
01:51:29,975 --> 01:51:33,187
with tremendous challenges,
global warming,

1613
01:51:34,063 --> 01:51:37,858
environmental destruction,
wars and more.

1614
01:51:37,983 --> 01:51:40,237
It'll be up to your
generation to face them.

1615
01:51:41,362 --> 01:51:44,365
And today, you have risen
to that challenge

1616
01:51:44,490 --> 01:51:46,952
with imagination
and brilliance.

1617
01:51:48,953 --> 01:51:50,205
Thank you.

1618
01:51:54,583 --> 01:51:56,753
Well, I suppose now you want
to hear the winners.

1619
01:51:57,462 --> 01:51:58,755
Oh...

1620
01:51:59,963 --> 01:52:01,548
Ready?

1621
01:52:01,673 --> 01:52:04,552
[Jessica] The bronze
medal goes to

1622
01:52:04,677 --> 01:52:07,430
a team whose technology
has the potential

1623
01:52:07,555 --> 01:52:11,392
to help rescue people in the
most difficult circumstances.

1624
01:52:12,352 --> 01:52:14,978
The great team
from Pennsylvania.

1625
01:52:15,147 --> 01:52:16,730
[crowd cheering]

1626
01:52:23,655 --> 01:52:26,032
Nice work.

1627
01:52:30,495 --> 01:52:32,413
Now for the silver medal.

1628
01:52:32,538 --> 01:52:35,792
This goes to a team whose
innovative robot cane,

1629
01:52:35,917 --> 01:52:37,252
will change the lives

1630
01:52:37,377 --> 01:52:40,003
of millions of visually
impaired people.

1631
01:52:40,130 --> 01:52:45,302
Please congratulate this
amazing team from California.

1632
01:52:45,427 --> 01:52:46,635
[crowd cheering]

1633
01:52:47,720 --> 01:52:50,848
-Oh,
-Elaha: oh no.

1634
01:52:54,643 --> 01:52:56,145
And finally the gold medal.

1635
01:52:57,397 --> 01:53:00,192
Now today's winner
will surprise no one

1636
01:53:00,317 --> 01:53:01,650
who has paid close attention

1637
01:53:01,775 --> 01:53:03,653
to the inventions
in this hall today.

1638
01:53:04,487 --> 01:53:06,948
The gold medal goes to...

1639
01:53:11,743 --> 01:53:13,830
The Afghan girls robotics team.

1640
01:53:13,955 --> 01:53:16,165
[crowd cheers and applauds]
[inspirational music]

1641
01:53:32,932 --> 01:53:35,768
Congratulations,
very well done.

1642
01:53:37,020 --> 01:53:39,313
Congratulations, so deserved.

1643
01:53:40,565 --> 01:53:42,858
Congratulations to you,
very nicely done.

1644
01:53:44,152 --> 01:53:47,072
-Congratulations, well done.
-Thank you.

1645
01:53:50,032 --> 01:53:51,450
Congratulations.

1646
01:53:51,783 --> 01:53:54,745
Congratulations. Excellent.

1647
01:53:56,288 --> 01:53:58,207
Good work, Congratulations.

1648
01:54:01,585 --> 01:54:02,920
[Jessica] I'd like to say a
huge thank you to

1649
01:54:03,045 --> 01:54:04,463
the International Robotics

Innovation Championships,
Albuquerque.

1651
01:54:11,012 --> 01:54:13,848
Congratulations to all of
our winners. Thank you.

1652
01:54:17,893 --> 01:54:19,937
Go Afghanistan!

1653
01:54:24,692 --> 01:54:27,320
You did it. You. You did it.

1654
01:54:27,487 --> 01:54:28,697
We all did it.

1655
01:54:29,155 --> 01:54:30,698
[inspirational music continues]

1656
01:54:54,013 --> 01:54:56,933
Huge thank you to you who
turned out and supported.

1657
01:55:03,982 --> 01:55:05,858
