Afghan Star Page #2

Synopsis: "Afghan Star" is a TV show modeled on the UK's "Pop Idol." We join the 2008 contest when it's down to nine contestants, and we focus on two women, Setara and Lema, and two men, Hameed and Rafi. We watch the two women in particular: Satara sings with emotion and includes dance in her final performance, an action that puts her life in danger; Lema is traditional, but her very appearance brings death threats. The three finalists are from different tribes, and each makes a plea for Afghan unity. The camera visits families watching the competition, there are comments from people in the street, and we return home with a nervous Setara. In Afghanistan, singing is an expression of freedom.

supports an Hazara.

Whereas in this show,

a Pashtun does support an Hazara.

By saying, "He's the best. "

This might affect Afghanistan's

national unity for the long term.

There are many ways that you can

persuade people to get together.

Don't listen to others!

Do what an Afghan wants to do.

When the music begins,

the stars will come on stage.

We made this meeting

to get the ideas of everyone.

The cameramen, editors, the director,

the boss and everyone.

When the Taliban regime

came to Afghanistan...

...the TVs were blacked for five years.

TV in the last five years

is like a baby.

...and we have to grow this baby up.

This is my first time in Kabul...

...so I'm visiting the zoo.

I'm very happy to be here.

This is the only pig in Afghanistan!

He's not dangerous.

He's very interesting,

with a big body.

...and tiny little eyes.

During the Taliban time

we were forced to stay at home...

...but now we can

go on stage and sing.

When I'm on the stage...

when I'm performing on stage.

...and singing for the people...

...the feeling of freedom

comes to my soul.

I'm so happy!

And this happiness even

makes me feel like dancing.

When I was a child,

I was interested in modern fashion.

Now I'm on stage...

...it is also great that

I get to show my style.

As a woman living alone in Afghanistan,

it is very difficult.

I mean 100% difficult.

The fact that I am a singer.

...means I face a lot of problems.

So there are lots of things

I must ignore.

...until I reach my goal.

I'm an open-minded person.

So I'm looking for a guy

who is also open-minded.

So we can be honest with each other.

Then he can understand me.

...in happiness and in sadness.

He should be medium height...

...have strong eyebrows.

...that meet in the middle.

And I will love him.

Have you ever kissed

the lips of a boy?

I'm not married...

...so I don't have a man to kiss.

In Afghanistan, the guys

sometimes use the ladies.

A lady will tell a guy, "I love you,"

...and the guy will say it back.

But the man's just thinking

about her body.

The ladies have to be careful.

It's a dangerous problem.

I'm not sure why it's like this.
