Set against the backdrop of a Presidential election, Innocent Heart is six-part drama series that tells of Kabir, a 12-year-old boy who returns home only to fall in with the Taleban. Manipulated by the insurgents into planting an Improvised explosive device (IED), his life begins to unravel after the bomb kills three people, including his best friend and his brother-in-law. The lessons he learns are that violence doesn’t pay and that democracy is the best way forward. The storyline also reinforces why better infrastructure, education, peaceful transition and democratic principles strengthen community capacity and offer a better future.
