Frontrunner

Very interesting film about Dr Massouda Jalal from Afghanistan.Dr Massouda, an elected delegate from Kabul, has the support of at least 10% of the delegates to stand as head of state and hercandidacy has opened up the election.An independent woman is standing against the sitting head of state, who has gained the backing of most of the influential civilian figures and the armed factions.She says that after such a long and bitter civil war, Afghan women form two-thirds of the population.Two million of them had families and they have suffered the most from the fighting.She says it is their right to vote and to stand as candidates at the highest level.

This is a must watch (especially considering the current situation in Afghanistan)!
