Afghanistan: Inside the Taliban Emirate
It has been four months since the Taliban came to power in Afghanistan, something they did faster than anyone anticipated. Since August, they have had to make a quick transition to handle the day-to-day business of a struggling state.
From Kabul to the Taliban stronghold of Kandahar and the mountainous province of Wardak, our team has witnessed the harsh reality of the Taliban regime. Jowharsenior reporters Catherine Norris Trent and Roméo Langlois bring us this exclusive feature-length documentary.
Our team went to meet with ex-combatants guarding the streets of the Afghan capital, Kabul, as well as civilians counting the cost of decades of war and women’s rights activists fighting back.
