Poking fun at politicians is a fairly standard form of television comedy, but satirising the government in Afghanistan, one of the most corrupt governments in the world, raises some very serious issues.

Inspired by The Office, Ricky Gervais's hit mock-documentary series, The Ministry focuses on the imaginary Ministry of Garbage in the fictitious country of Hechland. Featuring an incompetent Minister, a man-hating Secretary and an assortment of advisors and cronies, it reveals a dysfunctional government department with no accountability and a misguided, self-serving sense of morality. It provides the people of Afganistan the opportunity to laugh while addressing serious political and social issues like the buying of Parliamentary votes, corruption, nepotism, politicians colluding with major criminals, and sexism.

1 form y separately published work icon Eagle Four Trudi-Ann Tierney , Muffy Potter , Put it Out There Pictures , Kabul : Tolo TV Kaboora Productions , 2010 9456314 2010 single work film/TV

With a focus on promoting faith and trust in the Afghan Security Forces, this thirteen-part drama series centres on an elite police unit tasked with combating major crime and corruption at all levels of society. Eagle Four is fast-paced, contemporary and addresses some of the most significant security issues facing Afghanistan. The fact that the team perform their duties with integrity, honesty and strict adherence to the rule of law, challenges universally held notions of the Afghan Police while reinforcing the on-going professionalisation of the security forces.

1 form y separately published work icon Salam Trudi-Ann Tierney , Muffy Potter , Put it Out There Pictures , Kabul : Kaboora Productions Lemar TV , 2009-2011 9455906 2009 single work film/TV

Broadcast in Afghan provinces with the greatest prevalence of narcotics-related issues, Salam tells the story of a young man who witnesses his father’s death as a teenager, has his girlfriend promised to another man and subsequently spirals into heroin addiction. Drawn into a terrorist act that costs the life of his sister, Salam flees to a village where a mystical elder sets him on the path to spiritual recovery and restitution.

While the producers' main focus was to create awareness of the damage that narcotics can do to individuals, families and communities, various storylines also examines the democratic election process, the threat to the community posed by insurgent activity and the importance of education, particularly for young women.
