New York, February 4, 2025 — Angel Studios has unveiled the official trailer for its highly anticipated feature film Rule Breakers, a powerful tale of defiance, hope, and the transformative power of education. Set for theatrical release on March 7, 2025 — the eve of International Women’s Day — the film promises to captivate audiences with the inspiring journey of young Afghan women determined to change their destiny.

Directed by Oscar-winner Bill Guttentag and produced by Laura Overdeck, Rule Breakers tells the true story of Afghanistan’s first all-female robotics team. These visionary girls defied societal constraints and faced oppressive dangers under the Taliban regime to earn worldwide recognition. Their courage and resilience shine as a beacon of hope in a world where women’s dreams are often dismissed.

“In a place where girls are told their dreams are impossible, one woman risks everything to prove otherwise,” the synopsis reads. “Together, they must show that determination and bravery can overcome even the darkest obstacles.”

Brandon Purdie, Executive Vice President of Theatrical Distribution and Brand Development at Angel Studios, emphasized the film’s timely message. “Rule Breakers is a bold celebration of courage and defiance, showcasing young women who shattered expectations in their relentless pursuit of education and independence despite the oppressive forces of the Taliban,” he said. “This film calls on audiences to confront the brutal systems that seek to silence and control — because some rules are made to be broken.”

The film features a dynamic cast, including Ali Fazal (Victoria & Abdul), Nikohl Boosheri (Circumstance), Amber Afzali, Nina Hosseinzadeh, Nada El Belkasmi, Sara Malal Rowe, and Noorin Gulamgaus.
