Video: Pilot, Paratrooper, and Human Rights Advocate Ifrah Faiz
When Ifrah Faiz turned 18, she defied the narrow expectations faced by many young women and fulfilled her own childhood dream: she became a jet pilot and a paratrooper in the Pakistani Air Force. In this candid portrait by filmmaker Whitney Legge, Ifrah vividly recounts how a young girl initially mocked by her classmates for her farfetched dream became an advocate for women and human rights, and an Asia Foundation Development Fellow.
