The story of the return of music to Kabul, filmed just a few weeks after the fall of the Taliban. Their strict interpretation of Islamic law represented an unprecedented attack on music. Instruments were banned, broken and burned; TV was forbidden and women singers outlawed. Through powerful personal stories, Breaking the Silence: Music in Afghanistan looks at why music was banned and what the effect was on musicians and ordinary people, as we see the life and the soul of this devastated country beginning to return.
