Stark documentary to say the least - brave doesn't cover it. All the time I'm thinking what beautiful landscapes for such horror. You'd think this would make me angry, but the atrocity is on such a scale that it surpasses anger. It puts you in a simple state of awe where you don't even think that killing all the Taliban would be an answer.

It's engaging and stiltifying. Nice post.

It may have aired as recently as October 9th, but I've had this video for at least a couple years. She did this in 2001. Here's some info for the follow-up, "Lifting the Veil": http://www.channel4.com/life/microsites/A/afghanistan/summary.html.
