This is an amazing documentary I saw today on CNN. It’s called Beneath the veil: Inside the Taliban’s Afghanistan:
Ever since the Taliban took control of most of Afghanistan in 1996, the group has imposed its harsh version of Islamic law on the country. In “Beneath the Veil,” journalist Saira Shah traveled to Afghanistan to see the effects of the Taliban’s rule on her father’s homeland.
She discovered public executions, allegations of human rights violations like massacres and torture, and a place where women are forced to beg because they are prevented from working. But she also found that the first voices of protest come from the most repressed, including an opposition group that uses hidden cameras to film the executions.
