Life in the Taliban's Afghanistan
This was fascinating and so incredibly sad to watch. It's easy to forget it's already been more than six months since the Taliban took over Afghanistan.

@bethany Also, I couldn't help but notice the emptiness in the eyes of the boys. It's not natural for little boys to sit and study all day. Children need to play, to laugh, to learn all kinds of things! What are they learning from the Koran?? 💔 How are these boys being treated? Years ago I saw a video that showed an Islamic "school" where the children were writing on (I think) slate tablets and washing them in a trough with water that they would then drink. A little boy was being whipped mercilessly. It was heartbreaking. There is so much suffering in this world. It's obvious males are given preference, but that doesn't mean they're happy or truly satisfied. The only true peace comes from JESUS.
@Cherishingsparrows2020 I also wondered about the woman at the safe house. It seemed pretty dangerous to have her identity out there so openly. I planned to only watch the beginning of the documentary, but I had a hard time turning it off. So much anger and sadness when watching it
@bethany This is heartbreaking in so many ways. I wonder why they didn't blur the woman's face (at the shelter). She specifically requested no faces be shown and stated her own life would be endangered.
