劇情簡介:
「當你聆聽音樂時,你的耳朵會發出火焰。」 - 塔利班法官。
基於對音樂的熱情,一班在阿富汗首都喀布爾的年青人冒著生命危險,在一個秘密車房裡組成阿富汗的第一隊重金屬樂隊。由於塔利班視音樂為撒旦的舞曲,這些熱愛音樂的年青人眼前是對自由的渴求與死亡的威脅。他們用音樂解放一直被抑壓著的人們,卻同時憂慮自身的安全。作為一群單純熱愛音樂的年青人,他們的身分是甚麼?音樂那麼值得捨命追求嗎?離開或留守,是他們要面對的命題...
本會有幸邀請周博賢先生以及李冠傑先生擔任映後談嘉賓。周博賢先生為香港全職音樂創作人,亦曾就讀香港大學法律系,及後投身音樂事業。其創作的知名歌曲包括《粵語殘片》《山林道》《雞蛋與羔羊》等。周先生亦一直就時政議題發聲,其《雞蛋與羔羊》則是以政府權力彰顯不斷打擊人民和公民社會作為創作背景以及理念。另外,李冠傑先生亦是香港大學校友,於畢業後一直致力發展音樂事業。於2016年成立JL music培養一眾歌手和City Echo主辦及組織街頭音樂,分別於銅鑼灣和尖沙嘴等區都定時有表演。奈可近日街頭表演備受打壓,李先生亦表示「街頭音樂不止一個時代」,仍然努力不懈希望把本地歌手以及歌曲承傳下去。

Synopsis:
"When you listen to music, your ears will make a flame." - A Taliban Judge.
With a passion for music, a group of young people in Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, are risking their lives to form the first heavy metal band in Afghanistan in a secret garage. As the Taliban regarded music as Satan's dance music, the music-loving young men are facing both the thirst for freedom and the threat of death. They liberate the suppressed people through music, but at the same time are worried about their own safety. As a group of young people who love music for its own sake, what is their identity? Is music something worth betting their lives on? Leaving or staying is the proposition they have to face…
We are honoured to invite Mr. Adrian Chow and Mr. Jay Lee as our guests. Mr. Adrian Chow is a local music producer as well as an alumnus from the law faculty of HKU. After his graduation, he devoted himself to his music career. He produced famous songs such as 《粵語殘片》《山林道》《雞蛋與羔羊》. Mr Chow has been voicing out for current affairs issues. The song 《雞蛋與羔羊》is produced to support the people from government oppression. Mr. Jay Lee is also an alumnus of HKU. He has been devoting to the music industry since his graduation. He founded JL music and City Echo to cultivate potential singers and organise busking performances. With suppression on busking performances these days, Mr Lee also stated that "Busking performances will last more than an era", he is still highly devoted to promote local music in Hong Kong.
