This looks like it might actually be a good movie too. This is relevant to my interests?


International Film Fest Presents Afghan Star

International Area Studies continues its international film festival with a screening of Afghan Star on Thursday, April 29, 2010 from 6 to 8 p.m. in Ruth Auditorium, Nesbitt Hall (33rd and Market Streets).
After 30 years of war and Taliban rule, “Pop Idol” has come to Afghanistan. Millions are watching the TV series Afghan Star and voting for their favorite singers by mobile phone. For many, this is their first encounter with democracy. This timely film follows the dramatic stories of four contestants as they risk all to become the nation’s favorite singer. But will they attain the freedom they hope for in this vulnerable and traditional nation?
This event is free and light refreshments will be served. The screening is co-sponsored by the College of Arts and Sciences. For more info, contact Jacqueline Rios at jsr62@drexel.edu.
