Raz Ha ye Een Khana
Raz Ha ye Een Khana', or 'The Secrets of this House', is a serial created by Aria Production exclusively for Tolo TV, which is totally made in Afghanistan by Afghans, from the script, to the direction (Roya Sadaat), to the filming and editing.
The serial has already become very popular even though it has only been airing since the end of October 2007.
'Raz Ha' is directed by the world acclaimed director, Roya Sadaat, who has also been involved with a number of international projects. She has been directing the serial since the inception of the project.
The conceptual framework for the serial was first created by Atiq Rahimi, winner of many international prizes for his books and film, Earth and Ashes, and Hafiz Assefi, who was assistant to Peter Brook for a number of years in Paris, France. Since the inception of the project, a team of young Afghan script writers has been responsible for all episodes of the serial. These young Afghan men and women have and they have been trained by renowned script writer Jonathan Lawton (Pretty Woman).
The filming and editing of the serial is undertaken by Aria Production in Kabul, Afghanistan.
The story of 'Raz Ha' is based on an extended Afghan family based in Kabul. The story centres around a house, the original owner of which left Afghanistan for overseas at the start of the Afghan wars, and the house was left to his cousins thereafter. The cousins then transferred the house to their name during the war. The original owner has now returned to Afghanistan to reclaim his house although his cousins are claiming rights to the house because without their presence the house would have been lost to the government or others.
Accordingly, various people want to secure ownership of the house. The original owner starts to use political contacts to claim back ownership of the house, and the cousins use pay offs and other methods to stake their claim on the house. In the course of this struggle for the house, love blossoms between younger members of the two sides of the family.
'Raz Ha' reflects all of the social, familial and political highs and lows of contemporary Afghan society.
We hope to make available some clips from this serial on our website in due course, so keep checking our Videossection.
Raz Ha is broadcast on Tolo TV every Friday night at 8.30pm, just before Afghan Star.

SESAME STREET TO DEBUT IN AFGHANISTAN ON TOLO TV and LEMAR TV
SESAME STREET TO DEBUT IN AFGHANISTAN
ON TOLO TV and LEMAR TV
Local Co-production, Baghch-e-Simsim, to Feature Live Action Films and Segments with World-Beloved Elmo, Grover and the Sesame Friends
(New York, NY and Kabul, Afghanistan, November 30, 2011) — Sesame Workshop, the non-profit educational organization behind Sesame Street, in partnership with TOLO TV and LEMAR TV stations, have produced Baghch-e-Simsim, a brand new children’s television series featuring locally produced live action films and the Muppets from Sesame Street, to engage and help educate the young children of Afghanistan. While the under-five population of Afghanistan numbers nearly five million, only a small percentage of children are served by Kodakistans (the country’s kindergarten system). Designed to meet this need for early education, the 26 half-hour series of Baghch-e-Simsim, produced in consultation with Afghanistan’s Ministry of Education, will be broadcast in both Dari and Pashto languages and premieres December 1, 2011. Baghch-e-Simsim will be broadcast on TOLO TV every Thursday through Sunday at 4PM as well as on LEMAR TV every Thursday and Friday at 5PM and Saturdays and Sundays at 3:30PM.
Baghch-e-Simsim, which means “Sesame Garden”, contains 13 locally produced live action films that depict traditions, culture and other aspects of urban and rural life in Afghanistan. These two-to-three minute mini-documentaries feature and celebrate the daily lives of young children from across Afghanistan and introduce one another to the rich diversity of the country’s various provinces. Examples of the live action films include:• First Day of School – Six- year-old Zynab is getting ready for her first day of school, and she’s a little nervous. Her mom and dad reassure her that everything will go well. In class she does exercises, answers her teacher’s questions, and makes new friends while at recess she plays hide and seek. She has a lot of fun and can’t wait to return to school.
• Professions: Engineer – Seven- year-old Deedah meets with her Aunt Samira, who is a civil engineer. Samira takes Deedah to one of her construction sites, where she wears a hard hat, and watches her Aunt look at blue prints with other engineers. Samira tells Deedah that if she wants to be an engineer too, she needs to study hard and learn her math.
Additionally, the furry and feathered friends from Sesame Street, like Elmo, Big Bird and Grover, will be on hand to encourage children in core-competencies like literacy, math, school readiness, and life skills with a special emphasis on girls’ education, diversity and cultural awareness. Sesame Muppets from co-productions around the world, including Egypt, Bangladesh, Mexico and Russia will also be featured in segments throughout the series.
“Millions of American children and children around the world have enjoyed growing up watching and learning from this show. The United States is proud to have partnered with the Afghan Ministry of Education and members of the Afghan media to help bring this educational programming to Afghanistan,” stated U.S. Ambassador to Afghanistan Ryan Crocker.
"It is a fundamental fact that media plays a significant role in education development through educational and public awareness programs. In light of this fact, the Ministry of Education has focused on providing distance educational programs through its Education TV. I believe that Baghche-e-Simsim program that depict traditions, culture and other aspects of Afghan rural and urban life are profoundly useful for the cognitive development of our children and transforming our society towards, social welfare, economic growth and durable peace,” stated Afghan Minister of Education H.E. Farooq Wardak.
“Sesame Workshop is proud to work with TOLO and LEMAR television to create a series locally that not only seeks to educate and prepare children for a lifetime of learning, but also provides a unique vision into Afghan culture that children can identify with and learn from,” says H. Melvin Ming, CEO and President, Sesame Workshop. “With less than two-thirds of Afghanistan’s children enrolled in primary school, Baghch-e-Simsim is a crucial step forward for children’s education countrywide.”
"The collaboration between Sesame Workshop and Kaboora will open up the avenues of early learning in Afghanistan, just as Sesame Street has done globally for over 42 years. They are leaders in the field of early childhood development and TOLO TV and LEMAR TV are the two most potent media for reaching the children of Afghanistan. We are truly excited to have adopted their early learning expertise and imagination in to a program that will resonate with the young kids and families of the region," added Saad Mohseni, Chairman of MOBY Group, which owns and operates TOLO TV, LEMAR TV and Kaboora Production.
Baghch-e-Simsim is made possible through the support of the U.S. Department of State.
