Dispatches

Lifting the Veil (2002x9)


Udgivelsesdato: Nov 10, 2002

Just over a year after going undercover in Afghanistan to make the award-winning Beneath the Veil , Dispatches returns to the former Taliban-run country to reveal the story behind one of that film's most shocking images. Pictures smuggled out by the opposition group RAWA showed the medieval barbarity of the regime - symbolised by the execution of a woman in the middle of a football pitch. But what had the 35-year-old woman and mother of seven children done to warrant her fate? The Dispatches team track down her children and reveal her harrowing story as well as uncovering shocking evidence that the plight of women in Afghanistan has changed very little since the fall of the Taliban.
