Afghanistan: Performing for Freedom

Aghele Rezaie, 30, (right) the famous Afghan actress who has taken part in the controversial movie 'At Five in the Afternoon' (Winner of the Cannes Film Festival Jury Prize in 2003) is portrayed while sitting in her home with her family in Kabul, Afghanistan. 'At Five in the Afternoon' focuses on the life of a progressive young woman who dreams of growing up to become the President of the Republic despite her oppressive home life and a strained relationship with her bigoted but loving father. The film follows the daily struggles of Afghan women in post-Taliban Afghanistan with tenderness and hope against a tragic background of death and despair.
