Afghan Star

     this movie is about the afghanistan equivalent to the united states hit show american idol. there are many differences though between the two. since afghanistan is a muslim dominated country there are many restrictions that the stars are expected to follow. for one, none of the contestants are allowed to dance when they are on stage. to us americans this is a very strange restriction because in the united states dancing is such an innocent and average thing to do.
     in this movie one of the contestants believes in a more free world for muslims and decides to dance on stage durring her performance. this causes a lot of bad reputation for her and many of her fans are highly disappointed and some even wished her dead for what she did. the taliban, a muslim terrorist organisation, plans to assassinate her because of her actions on stage.

     afghan culture is much different than that of the united states. afghanistan is poor and america is rich. they dont believe in women's rights and we fight for it. we live very free lives here in america, so seeing all the restrictions and seeing how people live and see how the people think and act in afghanistan is very shocking and bizarr to us.
