Leena Alam, one of Afghanistan’s best-known actresses, is in character as she explains facing an unthinkable choice.
She and hundreds of other female artists and journalists are still awaiting evacuation, or else risk a lifetime of fear for their lives “wearing a hijab and lying to strangers who know [their] face” as figures in the arts and media. “I don’t think they’re going to ban music or TV series altogether — just women,” he assesses. “They’ll start with moralistic arguments about how we have to protect our wives and sisters from appearing on screen, and once women slowly go to the background, people will start to think this is normal, and they can roll out more directives.”
“The Taliban we’re facing on the street is completely different from the Taliban you see on the media or at Doha,” she explains. “They always capture journalists, beat them, arrest them for so many hours. They take cameras, break them and don’t allow us to report. “At least we have very good memories, because our dreams came true,” says Nabi, recalling how male attitudes towards her staff had changed since their start in 2017. “Before, everyone thought an all-women station was very funny, but we had technicians, camerawomen, directors, producers, everything — all without receiving any outside support.”
It came at a price. Women in show business received constant death threats and were often beaten and even disowned by their families.
