Stats:
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. Like its
Western predecessors, people compete for a cash prize and record deal.
More surprisingly, the contest is open to everyone across the country
despite gender, ethnicity or age. Two thousand people audition,
including three extremely brave women. And when viewers vote for their
favorites via cell phone, it is, for many, their first encounter with
the democratic process.
