does anyone know about afghan star? the tv series and the documentary about it? google it if not.
i wrote a whole feature for the statesman about it, interviewed the director etc, which they still haven't run (6 months later), because the channel four screening date keeps getting postponed. it was on more4 once in april tho. if this goes on much longer i'll just post it on my blog.
it's brilliant (the film, not my piece), massively revealing, and needs to be seen by everyone.
