POV: "THE WAR TO BE HER"
July 23, 2018  | By David Bianculli

PBS, 10:00 p.m. ET

 

This new POV entry, The War to Be Her, is about Maria Toorpakai, a young athlete who blossomed early as a gifted squash player. Unfortunately, she blossomed in the tribal region of Pakistan, where woman are dissuaded from playing sports – and where, after disguising herself as a boy for years, she fled the country to pursue her passion for squash. But her success, her activism, and threats to her family all brought her back.  Check local listings.
