Democracy: Afghan Style is a documentary about nation building efforts in Afghanistan. The film tells the larger story of a nation trying to create peace and possibly democracy amidst the chaos of tribalism, a destroyed political culture, and the US war on terrorism. The film closely follows the dramatic run-up to Afghanistan’s Constitutional Grand Council or Loya Jirga. 500 delegates travel from all parts of the country to Kabul to ratify the new constitution and debate controversial issues such as civil rights for women and minorities, and the role of Islam in the legal system. The film also features a behind-the-scenes access to the international team charged with organizing this historic Loya Jirga.
