The Beauty Academy of Kabul (DVD)

After the Taliban's fall, a group of American beauticians take their curling irons to Afghanistan to open the country's first beauty school. There's nothing frivolous about beauty school when hearing about the individual lives of these women in Afghanistan, and the contrast between them and the idealistic beauticians from America.

A Liz Mermin film. 74 minutes. 2006. Distributed by New Video.
