In this effective documentary, British director Havana Marking shows the effects of a popular reality TV show on the people through the final four contestants. The show which is similar to "American Idol" is also as popular in Afghanistan which proves the power of music on people regardless of their location. Marking shows a different side of Afghanistan that's rarely seen in the Western media where a young generation embraces their freedom and risking their lives for it. At the core of the film is the cultural and generational clash when a young woman dares to dance on national TV in a conservative Islamic nation. The film provides those who are interested a glimpse inside Afghanistan. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
