Malala Yousafzai : I never imagined that the rights of women would be compromised so easily.

The 27-year-old Nobel Prize Winner is executive producer on Bread & Roses documentary.

The film documents the lives of three Afghan women living under the Taliban regime.

Malala: "A lot of girls are finding themselves in a very hopeless, depressing situation".

All three of the women featured in the film are no longer living in Afghanistan .

Malala hopes the documentary prompts more international pressure on the Taliban to restore women's rights.

The title, Bread & Roses , was inspired by an Afghan saying: "Bread is a symbol of freedom, earning a salary and supporting the family".
