Film - Afghan Star Cert.12A
Date: Wednesday 17th March
Time: 19:30
Afghan Star
Music, dance and television were banned during 30 years of Taliban rule in Afghanistan. The Taliban still have great power, and much of the population is conservative, but the country is opening up.
Against this back-drop, the Afghan version of Pop Idol is gathering an immense following – watched by
about 30% of the population.
This fascinating documentary will give you a far deeper understanding of the country than you get from war-focussed news bulletins.
If you aren’t a Pop Idol fan don’t be put off. This film is much more than the story of four contestants: it is a story of resilience, passion and dreams.
