Follow the language. There are 2 main languages in Afghanistan - Pashto and Persian (Dari). whenever you hear complains in the documentary - their main language is Persian. whoever praises Taliban - they speak Pashtu. This is what missing in this documentary. To understand the conflict, you need to go back in history and understand how these 2 factions came to be. My father is Pashtun and tells me all the stories about the reality of the situation which is absent in almost all documentaries available to date... in short, these 2 factions will never see a mutual ground until one control's the other.
@@CA_119 Most Pakistani pashtuns recognise border . Imran Khan is not pashtun in the true sense as he cannot speak Pashto and migrated from Indian Punjab . He is a mixed Pakistani . Afghans dont recognise the Pak Afghan border and that is unacceptable for us .

Shake your head side to side means yes in these regions, like in Pakistan, Bangladesh and India, it took me nearly a year to get used to that when I worked there.
Any multi-ethnic country of the world, have union issues. Afghanistan must be divided in small 6 countries, with or without pakistan agreement. Pashtuns dont have their own country, so, they take all recognized afghanistan country to themselves. Pakistan dont want to give freedom to their inside pashtuns.

@@qaisersyed110 well a major component of the Taliban's ideology is Pashtunwali, they are closely knit with the culture and past of the Pashtun people. It would make sense that persieved bias towards their ethnicity would radicalize them, and when they gain power it also makes sense that they would be biased themselves towards people of Pashtun decent
This used to be the case, but now not so much. One of the reasons for their success is that they started recruiting Tajik and Turkic peoples as well. They are in no way the same group they were in the 90s.
30:00 Whether they are actual criminals or not, can't help but feel bad about the guy shaking his head slightly while saying how they are treated well. Nobody is going to talk badly about the Taliban when the Taliban are there with them. These people are probably hoping for leniency by doing this and I doubt they receive any.
Wrong, majority of people support the Taliban before 300 people a day were getting murdered under the United States puppet government, let these female judges get smackednup daily I say, convicting terrorists and letting warlords go deserve death
@@c0detearz320 who are you talking to? Nobody said anything in regards to what you’re talking about. The guy in the video obviously doesn’t support the taliban and nothing you can say about their history is going to change that. Publicly denouncing women and hoping for their demise is a horrible position to take as well. Grow up.
"We are treated well" while shaking his head, the mouth says one thing, while the body never lies. How ever they aren't really going to say anything bad with the Taliban standing right behind the camera.

A really good documentary. I am a little surprised that foreign TV crews were able to film in some sensitive places such as a prison. The film captures very well people's mixed feelings towards both foreign powers and the Taliban. Thank you so much!

@@PaintSlinger99 No actually its because the us government doesn't want the media telling everyone about the billions of dollars of military equipment they left and that is now in the hands of the Taliban.
The USA 🇺🇸, and the rest of the country's involved in this war they make a huge mistake to pull out from Afghanistan. This is translated to me that in all this years all the soldiers what they die in Afghanistan they die for nothing
These documentaries help me put things into perspective, what they are going through, not only since the Taliban takeover but also when these Western countries were there is something I will never begin to understand. I need to complain less, be more grateful.
They aren’t grateful though. It’s sad in 20 years they didn’t want to listen and do better thinking US and NATO was going to be there forever. I was one of the last to leave. Afghans that worked for me still writing me trying to leave. I only helped those that worked hard and I know they would work hard in the states. After 20 years of giving them money they have nothing to show for it. Training wasted for nothing. Sorry my rant is over.
They were smiling. Or didn't you see that part. Go take a look at the American prison system. And show me one guy who's smiling. Lol instead go look at the worst place on earth for a prisoner. Run by Americans . Guantanamo bay. Lol laughable comment.
@@SK-xp9xi just cos they're smiling, doesn't mean they're doing okay. it's called Defense mechanism. Get yourself educated. It helps the person cope with anxiety.
One visual detail I notice about these “new taliban” fighters vs. the old clips we used to see, their trigger discipline. It is such a small/minute detail and discipline that could be easily overlooked. But that in itself means that they have some sort of legitimate training to some degree now.
Many joined the Afghan National Army and received training from the US. They then either committed blue on green attacks, deserted, or became a Talib after Afghanistan fell.
A little scary to see... I doubt there will ever be peace with he Taliban in control... People aren't a fan of being surpressed due to gender or any other reason. Especially sinse the Afghan people had a taste.
Good documentary. But while watching this I was always on the edge thinking about how easy it will be for them to watch this documentary and identify people from it....
I think they did a better job than many of these documentaries with the identity protection. they mostly showed individuals who very deliberately decided to be on camera, and I think therefular people just moderately speaking theirminda will be ok. the taliban are not strictly forcing people to pretend that everything is fine. if the taliban give journalists permission to film, I don't think that they will then punish people merely for talking to the journalists.
I am an Afghan secular and the Taliban‘s critic. It‘s around three months that I‘ve fled the country because of the Taliban‘s threat and danger. The report is one of the best and realist reports about Afghanistan‘s calamitous and severe situation. I also should say, as this report is deeply about the reality but sadly, it‘s just a part of the reality. There are many other tragic events that the media can‘t cover them up. Thanks to your great network🙏
Just because the US withdrew doesn’t mean they’re keeping tabs on what’s going on look what happened to that Al-Qaeda leader he thought he was safe and sound and that hellfire missile took him out
U are part of the problem the secular states created the situation and now u left because u don't belief in ur nation and u don't like justice and freedom of ur ppl
any country with democracy is a slave nation and Afghans are a free nation. because those who have democracy have no other choice. it is either democracy or Bombs. brave proud people take a stand and gain freedom cowards accept democracy and become slave in their countries. i as a real true Afghan feel pity on slaves.

Interesting/informative/entertaining. Excellent photography job. Enabling viewers to better understand what the orator was describing. Closed captions enabled viewers to listen to guest speakers.

@@seltaeb9691 If you notice, I was replying to the OP who said "So now lets tell you exactly where she worked and what she did there." I was pointing out that; 1) She will already be on a hit list, so the Taliban know *who* she is. 2) The programme does not identify *where* she is. I have no idea what you are talking about "Probably banned too. You Laugh you die." Try to keep your insults to yourself, you're not that clever.
My heart aches for these children and young ladies. They deserve the right to make their own future, not be predestined to a future someone else makes for them..
Your heart should not ache too much. These woman have fathers, brothers, uncles, male cousins. All these men don't care for their own blood why would I give two shits about it. If you like your family live like these than so be it.
This is a foreign culture that is vastly different from ours. The Taliban were supported by the people of the land. These children and young ladies are part of that culture not of a western culture so they will adopt and will live by the rules of that culture or strive to change it but it's up to them. We can't impose our values on others just as we wouldn't want the values of others shoved down our throats..
It is not your land, let them live the way they wish. We will live the way we want to live. Better to not mess with other countries or you get what we have now.

Yes, you are right, the unfortunate consequences of letting a Stone Age regime of war criminals like the USA have power in a modern world. But now 20 years of western war crimes have come to an end. Not a word about the dramatic increase of opium production during the US presence in Afghanistan which hast cost the lives of many people all over the world... .
All those speaking against them are Kabul’ites and Persian ( Dari ) speakers who were in government previously. That lady who was a judge at US base, where people were held and sent to Guantanamo bay.
Yes, even the dude shaking his head while saying "They treat us well", the random students, the poppy farmers, etc. Do I really need to go on? These were ALL government workers. Totally.
Yeah, I was in tears at 4:40. But, that....that is not an act. That is a young girl's crying heart in her eyes. Omg, look how she acts in front of the men that she is strong. That broke me, instantly. Nobody is going to help this "Islamic emirate" if they don't allow basic human rights to women. Sad, but it is the truth.
You don't know what your talking about mate in Korea you can't do ir say certain things same like China let me see you go and invade them it'll be the last thing you do
Look at their eyes too ( the taliban men) are they not crying too? But let me ask you... who is violating her basic human right here? The invader who killed all her family members Or the poor Taliban man who also happens her cousin who took up arms to defend people from the enemy (the US) who wants to kill everybody? think rationally.
Nobody wanted to stay in Afganisthan. They were forced to stay there. No one would want to stay in a country which is run by dictatorship. Absolutely no different from the colonial times or the misery of Jews due to Adolf Hitler. I hope they stay safe and somebody helps Afganisthan and the people stuck there.

He's all "perhaps you've heard of my brother" while his buddy swipes through his phone ("we do still have a photo of him, don't we?"). Fine to be proud of one's martial victories -- the ignorance of the world is the difference. Put it another way, he's never left Afghanistan and it shows. If you watch it again, you can see in his eyes that he's aware of this at some level... I assume the French crew didn't react the way he expected or hoped. Plus, it's just tacky to do what he's doing and illustrates how small and pathetic the Taliban are. Big honchos in Afghanistan once more, slapping people around and crushing young girls' dreams (mothers selling their babies!). Meanwhile, representatives beg the outside world for validation and cash because they can't deliver.

Watching a history of the country, the different groups who have ruled Afghanistan are in the number 20+ range. I was trying to understand who the "real" or "first" Afghans were. Depends on who you ask I'm afraid.
I've seen documentaries talk about Afghanistan's borders being a construct of westerners with artificial boundaries that group together people who have almost nothing in common except religion. I'm not sure what the truth is but they speak multiple languages and have very different customs depending where you go.

Taliban can make communication with them, it doesn't mean that they make official diplomatic relationship with Taliban.

Please learn further more., all you see is on the superficial , try to find out valid and accountable information.
@Liam how can the USA create something that these people have been doing since the days of Alexander. They simply helped assisted and funded them. They cannot create freedom fighters. Freedom fighters are born within the struggle. Ask the IRA.
@Liam Didn't you see the spoke person for taliban government a week ago make announcements that they run out of money and logistic resources because they cannot cash their money and profitable investments, and they urge international community to recognize them as legitimate and sovereignty country, so they can take their financial asset obroad. But so far no Country recognized the new Afganistan by taliban. If your country has been imposed economic sanctions like Afganistan now, you cannot make trading and economic activities legally from your country. You cannot make ekspor and impor all in every sector. Your financial asset will be blocked. So the Taliban now realize that now, and their begging international world to recognized them when their economic situations fall apart. But result hasn't responded yet from the outside. That's why now they try to sell illegal stuff like cannabis to black market outside their country. And don't bother about flag when your stomach is empty and hungry condition.
