Afghanistan. Hardly the easiest place in the world for a teenage girl to become a pop star. But that’s exactly what 19 year old Mariam is trying to do.

Under the Taliban, all forms of music were banned. “In Afghanistan, for a woman to become a singer is like committing suicide”, states one Afghan singer. But Mariam hopes her music will broaden the minds of fellow Afghans. Despite being regularly insulted and attacked, she refuses to give up. “I like seeing the peace and joy that music gives people”.
