[edit] Information

Iraqi society has changed over the last five years and young Iraqis in particular want to look increasingly Western - even provocative. Influencing these trends are the social media stars who have garnered millions of followers, so reporter Sahar Zand heads to the troubled nation to meet a few of them. Huge nationwide protests against corruption have been making headlines, but these young millennials are taking on power in a different way - by celebrating beauty, fashion and rap. They have acquired much popularity but, as this programme reveals, fame can have deadly consequences.
