Directed by Havana Marking

In Afghanistan you risk your life to sing. After thirty years of war and five devastating years of Taliban rule, pop culture is beginning to return to the country. Since 2005, millions have been tuning in to Tolo TV's wildly popular American Idol-style series Afghan Star. Havana Marking's timely and moving film follows the dramatic stories of four young finalists?two men and two women?as they hazard everything to become the nation's favorite performer
