Synopsis

Making Soapies in Kabul is a gripping and heartwarming story of a young Afghan woman's journey to find her voice, pursue her dreams, and make a difference in her community. Set against the backdrop of war-torn Kabul, this novel explores the challenges and triumphs of life in Afghanistan, the power of storytelling, and the indomitable spirit of the Afghan people.

Fatima is a young Afghan woman who dreams of becoming a filmmaker. Despite the challenges of living in a country ravaged by war, she is determined to pursue her passion. With the help of her friends and family, she starts a small production company and begins making soap operas. Her soapies quickly become popular throughout Afghanistan, and Fatima uses them to tell stories about the lives of ordinary Afghans. Her work gives voice to the voiceless and challenges the stereotypes that surround her country.

However, Fatima's work is not without risk. She faces threats from the Taliban and other extremist groups who believe that her soapies are un-Islamic. But she refuses to be silenced. She continues to make her soapies, and her work becomes a source of hope and inspiration for Afghans around the world.
