"Highly Recommended. Although war continues to affect these women AND STILL I SING leaves viewers with an unfinished story and a question: can women create a world where they can be performers and have the potential to change lives?"

For 13 straight seasons, the hit singing TV series, Afghan Star, has never had a female winner. In And Still I Sing, amidst the US and Taliban peace negotiations, Afghanistan’s controversial pop star and activist Aryana Sayeed mentors hopeful contestants on Afghan Star, including the only two female singers, Zahra Elham and Sadiqa Madadgar. As their hopes and dreams of becoming national singers begin to manifest into reality, the Taliban returns to power, reversing twenty years of progress for women’s rights. Each artist must suddenly decide to stay with their families or try to escape the country they love.

Sayeed works to push the national conversation around women’s rights and the value of women’s contributions to society. Facing death threats for their costume choices or song lyrics, the female contestants make strides towards the final episode – slowly winning over the hearts of the public.
