boy about town

as part of the human rights watch london film festival, I checked out afghan idol - a documentary about the making of afghanistan’s version of the tv show pop idol. i’m not a doco fan, but this one was simply amazing. the most striking moment was the controversy created when a female contestant removed her head piece and danced on stage - two no-no’s in afghanistan which resulted in death threats and her having to go into hiding.

i'm not really one to say to do something, but in this case, if you get a chance, do check it out!
