Living in a world were music is banned, television is rare, and all form of entertainment are politics seems fun, right?
Where we live, America embraces life of entertainment with enjoyable things to listen, watch, and hear. Afghanistan, not so much. Due to low literary rates, and lack of other progressions, Afghanistan limits these down to only the bare necessities.
All forms of "entertainment", television, and radio were for political and/or important news.
