Would you risk your life for the chance to sing? Afghan Star is the Sundance Film Festival award winning documentary on Afghanistan's version of American Idol, Afghan Pop Idol. Afghan Star isn’t just a reality show, it’s a window into the harsh realities of life in Afghanistan. For some Afghan people, voting for their favorite singer was their first encounter with any form of democracy.
