About Girls on the Air
Girls On The Air is a documentary that shows an unprecedented face of Afghanistan, a very different country from the stereotype media have contributed to create in Western collective imagination.
Symbol of this diversity and complexity is the very young Afghan journalist, Humaira Habib, founder and editor in chief of Radio Sahar, the first independent community radio station born after the fall of the Taliban regime and entirely run by women, broadcasting from the city of Herat, near the border between Afghanistan and Iran. At the young age of 23, Humaira is the station-manager of Radio Sahar. She constantly trying to change Afghanistan from within by addressing the problems with political unrest, the increasing violence against women, and the suicide attacks.
Girls on the Air is shown with UK subtitles.
