Good Morning Afghanistan

Waseem Mahmood lost almost everything when his brother broke a confidence and filed a story in the world's highest circulating tabloid newspaper theNews of the World. He feared he would never work in broadcast media again, and history intervened with the events of 9/11, the attack on Afghanistan, and the fall of the Taliban. Headed by Mahmood, a group of local and foreign journalists responded to the events by producing a radio program based in Kabul to disseminate much-needed and for the very first time uncensored information to the country's people. What they end up providing is hope for a devastated land, and a voice for a people long smothered by oppression. Told with searing honesty this is a story of struggle, cruelty, and courage populated by ordinary people who risk their lives for freedom.

An award-winning broadcaster, Mahmood was awarded an OBE in 2005 for services to the reconstruction of media in postwar countries. He is also the chairman of the record-breaking Yeh Hum Naheen Foundation.
