Coming Out:

| definitely not a Islamic extremist |

| hopefully the future |
This film instilled a sense of hope and fear regarding Afghanistan. The hope is that Afghanistan appears to be normalizing... to a point. A point where dancing is considered whorish and women fear for their lives after appearing on a American Idol-esque show. Alas a little better off then under Taliban rule, but still some to be desired. This movie does provide a unique insight into the different cultures that inhabit Afghanistan, showing the people from the different provinces and why a unified Afghanistan has always been a tricky thing to rule over. But with American ingenuity and showmanship it looks like the Afghans are slowly coming out of their reclusive ways and embracing the holy reality television icon of American Idol. Best of luck to Afghanistan and their precarious future.
