Breaking the Silence: Music in Afghanistan

All since the Soviet invasion in 1979 musicians have lived under restrictions in Afghanistan, before Mujahedin and Taliban tightened the reins even more. This documentary explores the position of music through more than twenty years of the country’s history. We meet musicians in Afghanistan and in exile, in addition to both believers who reject music and those having it as a central part of their religion.

Director: Simon Broughton

Cast: Aziz Ghaznawi, Mashinai, Khaled Arman, Shiraz Siddiqi, Naqib Ahmad
