Barbican Film, London have a one-off screening for 2009’s Girls On The Air on 9th February 2011.
Focusing on the young Afghani idealists trying to make a difference in a country where the very basic principles of democracy were destroyed, Girls On The Air explores the value of freedom of expression and reveals that Afghanistan is a very different country from the Western media stereotype.
23-year-old Afghan journalist Humaira Habib is founder of Radio Sahar, the first independent radio station born after the fall of the Taliban regime and entirely run by women. In a unique example of a new democracy-building process in Afghanistan, Humaira fights every day for the rights of Afghan women.
