Democracy Afghan Style follows the personal stories of two Afghans who face political opposition and physical intimidation as they risk their lives to participate in the future of their country. This feature length documentary tells the larger story of the not-quite-ready-for-prime-time nation trying to create peace, stability, and possibly democracy amidst the chaos of tribalism, a destroyed political culture, and the U.S. war on terror.
