Dragon of Afghanistan

People on the streets of Kabul call Abbas Alizada the ‘Afghan Bruce Lee’. After his striking resemblance to the Chinese martial arts icon made him a social media star, he took a year to try and become more like his hero. Today, Abbas uses his celebrity to inspire young Afghan athletes, but fame has come with a price – now he must be wary every time he leaves his house.
