Voice of the Valley tells the incredible story of two Muslim Jordanian women and radio revolutionaries, Asma Raja and Munira Al-Shtatti. Despite the government’s refusal to issue them a license, with no formal journalistic training, and threats made to their families, they produce and broadcast a groundbreaking social and political radio program called “Voice of the Valley.”

The film takes a closer look at the professional lives of Asma and Munira and exposes the many issues that negatively affect the inhabitants of the Jordan Valley, a severely neglected agricultural region. By doing so, the film seeks to melt away the common Western misconception of Middle Eastern Muslim women as a voiceless and inactive minority. Furthermore, it aims to foster an attitude of respect for women in the Middle East who make risky efforts to promote gender equality and social change. This film strives to highlight the detrimental problems facing the men, women and children living in the Jordan Valley; problems which have not been addressed by governmental officials in Amman. By exposing these issues, the film is a voice for the voiceless and hopes to humanize these misrepresented peoples. Finally, this film aims to bridge the ever-widening gap between the Middle East and the West at a time when it is needed most.
