In Her Hands tells the story of Zarifa Ghafari, the first female mayor in Afghanistan, detailing the 19 months before the U.S. evacuated the country along with the fall of Kabul in August 2021. As well as being the first female, Ghafari was the youngest in the country’s history when she was elected in 2018 at the age of 24.

Ghafari was a vocal opponent of former President Donald Trump and his policies concerning her country. When Trump reached a peace deal with the Taliban — without any input from the Afghan government — in February 2020, Ghafari referred to it as a sale of her country to the Taliban.

“We just won an Emmy! I’m thrilled that “In Her Hands,” ’s documentary telling the story of Zarifa Ghafari, Afghanistan’s youngest female mayor, has been recognized in the news and documentary category,” Clinton wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.

As for the other Emmy award ceremonies, the Daytime Emmy Awards was postponed indefinitely and the Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony has been postponed four months due to the ongoing strike in Hollywood with actors and performers. Last year, the Emmys took place in September. The 2023 ceremony is now scheduled for January 15, 2024.
