The Beauty academy of Kabul

An arresting and optimistic portrait of post-Taliban Afghanistan, the theatrical hit THE BEAUTY ACADEMY OF KABUL captures the wonderfully odd circumstances that bring Afghan and American women together in pursuit of physical beauty and much more. In this utterly unique film, a quirky gaggle of Western hairstylists, including Afghan-American women, armed with blow driers and designer scissors, improbably opens a school to teach eager Afghan women the high art of fixing hair."--Container.

  • "Documentary about a group of American hairdressers who opened a beauty academy in post-Taliban Kabul. The six teachers were all volunteers; three had fled Afghanistan over 20 years ago."
  • ""What happens when a group of hairdressers from America travel to Kabul with the intention of telling Afghan women how to do hair and makeup? This documentary tracks a unique development project: a shiny new beauty school, funded in part by beauty-industry mainstays, which sets out to teach the latest cutting, colouring and perming techniques to practicing and aspiring Afghan hairdressers and beauticians. The American teachers, all volunteers, include three Afghan-Americans returning home for the first time in over twenty years. This film offers a rare glimpse into Afghan women's lives, and documents the poignant and often humorous process through which women with very different experiences of life come to learn about one another." -- website."@en
