Contentious Afghan 'Pop Idol' final
Updated on 20 March 2009
Afghanistan's very own Pop Idol draws to its conclusion tonight, but in Afghanistan you risk your life to take part.
The final of Afghan Star was watched by millions, who phoned in to vote for their favourite.
Now in season four, it is more than just a television talent show. Once upon a time music was outlawed by the Taliban, so now the show has found itself the target of religious extremists.
A British film crew followed the progress of last year's series - their documentary, also called Afghan Star, premieres in London tonight.
