Summary
Filmmaker Liz Mermin, beautician Shaima Ali, and comic Craig Ferguson on this edition of Fresh Air. Mermin's new documentary, The Beauty Academy of Kabul, is about a group of American female hairdressers who go to Afghanistan and open a beauty school to teach local women how to cut hair and apply make-up, thus making them financially independent. Ali was one of the teachers. She is an Afgan-American who returned to the country after fleeing over 20 years ago. After she left Afghanistan, she moved to New York with her two daughters, went to beauty school, and opened a salon. The beauty school in Kabul was sponsored by the American fashion magazine, Vogue. Mermin's other films include On Hostile Ground, about three American abortion providers, and the TV documentaries American Talent and Report from Ground Zero. Comic and actor Craig Ferguson is host of CBS's The Late Late Show. He is known by many as Drew Carey's boss, Mr. Wick, on The Drew Carey Show. Ferguson has also written the feature films The Big Tease and Saving Grace. In 2003, Ferguson made his directorial debut with I'll Be There. Now Ferguson has also written his first novel, Between the Bridge and the River. (Broadcast Date: April 24, 2006)
