Akbar, Soori, Mohammed and Hakim are the only young immigrants in Iran who have formed a rock band. All they miss now is an opportunity to play live.\u00a0<em>The Forbidden Strings<\/em>\u00a0shows the musical foursome struggling to get themselves heard, and follows them in the run-up to a historic day.<\/p>\n<p>As the title suggests, they face quite a few challenges along the way. All four band members are children of Afghan parents who fled to Iran, and that means they face dangers if they return to their homeland. Their families are worried about them. The rockers promise to stay out of trouble when they go to Kabul for their show, but they realize what they\u2019re up against soon after arriving. Clearly, Afghanistan is still a very dangerous place.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-10764 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/openasia.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/72226301_103323211086687_4888873423775727616_n-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"485\" height=\"273\" srcset=\"https:\/\/openasia.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/72226301_103323211086687_4888873423775727616_n-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/openasia.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/72226301_103323211086687_4888873423775727616_n-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/openasia.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/72226301_103323211086687_4888873423775727616_n.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 485px) 100vw, 485px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The moments of joy are infectious, but sobering reality is always lurking.
