In 2019, singers Sadiqa Madadgar and Zahra Elham compete to make history as the first female winner of the popular reality TV show Afghan Star. While venturing to break this unique glass ceiling, the singers form a close relationship with Aryana Sayeed — the only woman on the judging panel, and an outspoken advocate for gender equality in Afghanistan. With fear of the Taliban growing, the three performers face increasing public scrutiny and danger as the season hurtles toward its final episodes. Fazila Amiri's powerful film showcases the indispensability of using your voice to create change.
