It really is an incredible documentary. Not only does it show the rebellion of music within a younger demographic, it also shows America the reality of what is hapenning in Afghanistan, and how the same young demographic wants to fight the religious, almost oppresive, rule on everyday life.

Excellent documentary about how an American-Idol-style televised talent show (with votes cast by cell phone) is impacting a society tottering between fanatical (see Taliban, e.g.) and moderate Islam. As the show's producer notes at one point, for many young Afghanis, voting for Afghan Star is their first and only experience of democracy. At the cusp of the extremist-moderate conflict are the women contestants on the show, who must fear for their lives for simply allowing their faces to be seen on TV. A convincing look at daily life in Afghanistan and at the many faces of this very complex nation.

The movie uses the talent show Afghan Star as a prism through which to examine the fragmented tribal culture of Afghanistan as reflected in the backgrounds of four finalists (two of them women) and the public responses to their performances.

Interesting to see how a knock off of a western television show is made in a country with such strict laws regarding music, dance and even television in general make everything more difficult. What I enjoyed seeing most was how some people live with the fear instead of backing down on their "progressive" ideas. Americans need to be reminded how lucky we are and even what we are fighting for when we try to expand democracy. They feel voting for a singer is exercising democracy, but also live with fear they can lose their favorite new tv show at the same time.

Judging from this film, a pop cultural resurgence in Afghanistan seems ultimately unstoppable, even with a resurgent Taliban, if for no other reason than that 60 percent of the population is under 21. Also, this is a country, as we see again and again, that loves to sing.
