<p>''I left my whole life, my home in order to continue to have a voice," the photojournalist wrote. &nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;''Once again, I am running from my motherland. Once again, I am going to start from zero. I took only my cameras and a dead soul with me across an ocean. With a heavy heart, goodbye motherland. Until we meet again,"&nbsp;Heydari further wrote.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
As per reports, the Afghan filmmaker is&nbsp;currently staying in France. “Death only comes once, I’m not afraid of them killing me,” said Heydari. “What I feared was being caged, not being able to go outside and continue my work.”<br />

Taking to her Twitter account, the filmmaker posted a photo of herself from the airport showing the situation of a war-torn country, in which she is seen sitting and waiting outside the airport.
