Synopsis
The setting: Afghanistan's first democratic election ever. In the aftermath of 9/11, America's military might have set the stage, but who will determine the fate of democracy in Afghanistan? Is it possible for a woman to run for President, where unspeakable cruelty to women had become part of day-to-day life under the Taliban? Dr. Massouda is a medical doctor, mother of three and the first presidential bid by a woman since the ouster of the Taliban.
