Filmscreening: The Beauty Academy of Kabul by Liz Mermin
A group of American hairdressers head to Afghanistan to open the country's first post Taliban "Beauty School". The film documents the difficulties of living in a very restricted Islamic Republic and how the political regime and the wars afftected afghani people in their lives and their culture. The filmmaker analyzes the poignant and often humorous process through which women with very different experiences of life come to learn about one other.
