3
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:25,280
Wait.
4
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:09,160
Dear God!
5
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:22,880
Bashir! I won't leave you here.
6
00:01:22,960 --> 00:01:26,960
I won't leave.
I won't go anywhere without you.
7
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,040
Either we go together
or we won't go at all.
8
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:06,960
The mayor of Maidan Wardak,
Zarifa Ghafari, is here to speak.
9
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,760
For 50 years,
war has been imposed on Afghans.
10
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:15,280
We don't want any more war.
11
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,320
Stand beside your sisters.
12
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:22,680
Let them be educated
13
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,320
so that both men and women
14
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:30,400
can rebuild the country together.
15
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,640
Young people, you must work for it.
16
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:36,400
Study and work. Compete with your peers.
17
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,280
Drop the weapon and take up a pen.
18
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,160
This country will be built
by the pen and by education.
19
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,520
-We want security!
-We want it!
20
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,440
-We want education!
-We want it!
21
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:50,640
We want peace!
22
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:52,880
We want peace!
23
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:54,880
We want security!
24
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:56,640
We want security!
25
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:58,720
We want peace!
26
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,720
Let's all work together.
27
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:08,320
Both men and women,
be courageous and stand together.
28
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:13,040
If we work hard and try our best,
we can build this country ourselves.
29
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,280
Long live Afghanistan!
30
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,920
Long live Afghanistan!
31
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,960
I applied to be the mayor
of Maidan Wardak.
32
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:11,400
And from the first day
I applied for the position,
33
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,200
I encountered problems.
34
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:22,720
For nine months,
people tried to prevent my appointment.
35
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:25,600
But I did not give up.
36
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:32,880
Men have had their chance here
for the last 40 or 50 years.
37
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:35,680
What have they achieved? Nothing.
38
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,600
There are no female mayors
in other provinces. Why in Maidan?
39
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,920
A woman! Aren't there enough men?
40
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,040
Our men are as strong as trees.
41
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,360
She should stay at home,
cook, and do housework.
42
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:53,920
Look after the kids.
43
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,080
Not boss us around like this.
44
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:07,680
Please sign it,
so I can take it to the governor's office.
45
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,680
Put the chair there. Welcome. How are you?
46
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:15,440
Good morning, everyone.
47
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,280
I hope you are all okay.
48
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,080
I'm glad to see so many of you present.
49
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:25,400
This is the only office working like this
out of all the others in the province.
50
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,200
I want to fight
51
00:06:28,280 --> 00:06:33,800
for women's education rights here.
52
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,080
And I will work for this.
53
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:44,360
And I won't be leaving here
until you are all totally sick of me.
54
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:51,120
Signed.
55
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:08,800
The US and Taliban have recently completed
their latest round of peace negotiations
56
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:13,000
with the aim of ending
the war in Afghanistan
57
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,160
and signing an agreement
for permanent peace.
58
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:28,480
God damn this situation. Damn it!
59
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:41,560
In the name of Allah. May God protect us.
60
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:58,640
I am Mayor Zarifa Ghafari's driver,
and I guard her 24/7.
61
00:07:59,960 --> 00:08:01,280
And I'm very happy
62
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,480
to be serving a woman
63
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,400
who so completely serves her country
64
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:08,880
and her people.
65
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:23,160
After we pass these deserts,
we'll feel safer.
66
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:31,040
Slow down. Drive slowly.
67
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,360
Cars are heading towards us.
68
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,240
I drive above the speed limit,
69
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,720
one hand on the steering wheel,
one on my pistol,
70
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:51,440
because the road
I drive Zarifa on every day
71
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,240
between Kabul and Maidan Shar
is controlled by the Taliban.
72
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:07,400
She is a champion for me and our people.
73
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:13,120
I live every second of my life
with the memory of her.
74
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,800
This is a letter I received
from the Taliban that says,
75
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:40,680
"Miss Zarifa Ghafari, As-Salaam-Alaikum."
76
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:45,320
"You're continuing to do pagan works
in spite of our warnings,
77
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:49,000
and in the name of democracy
you are spreading vice in our society."
78
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,320
"For the last time,
79
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:56,720
we order you
to leave Maidan Wardak in a week."
80
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,440
"Refusing to do so
will result in your assassination."
81
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,040
But I haven't left Maidan Wardak yet.
82
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:08,720
This was sent in November 2017.
83
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:12,120
Now it's 2020 and I'm still working.
84
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,520
I'm still alive,
and God willing, it will stay that way.
85
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:23,960
Walk around, my little baby.
86
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,520
Go on. Hurry up!
87
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:33,200
Hurry up! You can do it.
88
00:10:42,680 --> 00:10:47,080
When I first met Zarifa,
I really wanted to help her.
89
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,400
I considered her my sister,
from the bottom of my heart.
90
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:03,920
Zarifa is fighting
for freedom of speech in her country.
91
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:08,360
For women's rights, for human rights.
92
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:11,720
But within the Islamic framework.
93
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,440
-How long have you been sitting here?
-Since last night.
94
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,360
What should I do, my dear?
95
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,920
Don't cry.
96
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:30,040
Take this, please.
97
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,000
Bless you!
98
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:37,040
Her enemies say
99
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:42,760
that what she is doing is blasphemous.
100
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,800
We have been living here for five years.
101
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:41,440
In five years, not a single government
vehicle has come into this area.
102
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,640
They haven't crossed the main road
to get here.
103
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,240
We decide everything here.
104
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:54,880
Any fighting or killing is punished by us.
105
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,320
The government doesn't exist here.
106
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:03,640
As-Salaam-Alaikum.
107
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:06,200
All good?
108
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:24,960
The government has failed
the people of Afghanistan.
109
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:30,400
Ask the people here whether the government
has done anything for them.
110
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,040
We are from this country,
and we will serve it.
111
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,080
Brave Mujahideen!
112
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:55,280
Until we establish Islamic rule
across the whole planet,
113
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,000
we will not surrender to anyone.
114
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,880
I have been put here to fight people.
115
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,880
I have been instructed to kill people.
116
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,120
To destroy people, behead people.
117
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,480
Until they believe
there is no god but Allah.
118
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:24,440
I have been fighting in these mountains
since the US invasion in 2001.
119
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:31,560
Look at me, I am 36 years old,
120
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:37,000
but everyone thinks
I am 40 or 50 years old.
121
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:48,200
We are fighting for pure Sharia law
in this country.
122
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:53,120
If you cut off one hand,
others will refrain from stealing.
123
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:56,520
If you crush one person under a wall,
no one will commit homosexuality.
124
00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:00,440
If one person is stoned,
no one will commit fornication.
125
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,440
This is the righteous way,
which will lead us forward.
126
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:25,440
I remember, when I was a child
during the Taliban rule,
127
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:32,240
one day the Taliban took a woman
to Chaman Hozori stadium.
128
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:40,840
They made her wear a blue burka.
129
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,480
A man stood next to her
130
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:49,280
and shot her in the head
with a Kalashnikov.
131
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,600
I witnessed this when I was just a kid.
132
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:11,480
We will witness these horrors again.
133
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:13,720
The horror of the Taliban.
134
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:17,400
The fear of the Taliban.
135
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:32,000
See how we stop our enemies
in Afghanistan.
136
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:38,560
We pack the car with explosives
and park it in the desert.
137
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:40,920
Then they come to see whose car it is.
138
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:42,520
Then the car explodes.
139
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:48,160
Did it become unsafe
like it has been in the last 40 years
140
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:53,840
because a woman like Zarifa Ghafari
walks freely around the province?
141
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:56,040
Her husband should accompany her.
142
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,320
There should not be vice in this country.
143
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:04,560
God tells us
to kill them without hesitation.
144
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:16,080
We're getting closer to the checkpoint.
That side is the government.
145
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:23,280
That's the city. This doesn't work there.
146
00:17:23,360 --> 00:17:25,800
If we have this, they will arrest us.
147
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,040
They will say
the Taliban have entered the city.
148
00:17:38,120 --> 00:17:40,240
And now they will say, "No Taliban."
149
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,160
Hello. How are you?
150
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:48,800
Where are you coming from?
151
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:02,280
We have to move from this flat
as soon as possible.
152
00:18:02,360 --> 00:18:05,920
-It's an emergency. It's out of control.
-What do you mean?
153
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:07,400
We're being followed.
154
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:09,760
I'm being followed because of you.
155
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:11,560
We are all being followed.
156
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,840
I have to be extra careful.
157
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:19,480
Why didn't you inform me earlier?
158
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:24,320
Because I didn't want you to be afraid.
159
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:32,080
It's bad. We have to move
before they kill us.
160
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,360
Pick it up from the bottom, Bashir.
161
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:43,600
One of you hold it from the top.
162
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,840
-Should we do it now or later?
-No.
163
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,040
Let's put it on top.
164
00:18:50,120 --> 00:18:51,680
Look at what she has!
165
00:18:55,200 --> 00:19:00,960
Mister, take this and put it over there.
166
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,480
-Don't ruin it. One minute!
167
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,040
Be careful, don't soil it. Hurry up!
168
00:19:15,120 --> 00:19:16,840
Sometimes it is difficult.
169
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:21,080
When you realise
someone is going to hurt you,
170
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:24,400
someone is following you
or trying to make trouble for you.
171
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:25,840
It is very tough.
172
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:30,680
But this is life in Afghanistan.
173
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:35,240
You just have to accept it.
174
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:40,880
Women like me,
175
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,760
we like to have self-confidence.
176
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,320
In Afghanistan, if a woman
doesn't know how to drive,
177
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:48,680
especially now,
178
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,920
it must mean
her hands and legs are broken.
179
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,320
Did you carry all of that upstairs?
No, don't do that.
180
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:06,440
No, come on.
181
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:08,960
Okay, give it to me. Bring it here.
182
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:12,360
-Give it to me.
-No, it's very heavy.
183
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,200
Kabul has been rebuilt so beautifully.
It looks awesome.
184
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:29,640
Show it to him.
185
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,640
Let him also see Kabul. Look!
186
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:40,000
Look at how beautiful Kabul is.
187
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:49,000
My homeland
My pride is my love for you
188
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:54,960
My homeland
I will sacrifice myself for you
189
00:20:55,040 --> 00:21:00,680
Homeland, wherever I will be
190
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,800
You will give me soul and spirit
191
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,960
-We came from this way, right?
-Yes, we did.
192
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,520
Wow, what a car you have!
193
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,760
Nice to meet you.
194
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,040
What is your name? Mohammad?
195
00:21:34,120 --> 00:21:35,720
-Is your name Mohammad?
-Yes.
196
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:38,520
-Is she his sister?
-Yes.
197
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,320
They also have a younger brother,
198
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:42,840
younger than them.
199
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,240
-She can't see anything?
-No, nothing at all.
200
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,840
God bless you, sir, for your hard work.
201
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:53,240
Please recite a verse by heart.
202
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:58,840
I seek refuge in Allah
From the outcast Shaitan
203
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:03,080
In the name of Allah
The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
204
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:08,080
The Taliban doesn't want
the people of Afghanistan,
205
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:12,800
and particularly Afghan women,
to become educated.
206
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:19,320
Because education
is against all those things they believe.
207
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:27,480
Because educated people ask questions,
208
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:29,600
and they are afraid of questions.
209
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,800
Whenever I meet people
from different communities,
210
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:44,040
I ask them to educate their children
211
00:22:44,120 --> 00:22:49,320
because education is the only way out
of this situation in Afghanistan.
212
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,360
Hello, how are you? Are you well?
213
00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,440
We thank you for coming here.
214
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:02,080
Thank you.
215
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:09,640
Our girls do study. There…
216
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,600
There are some classes.
217
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:24,680
As a girl, I studied.
I have a bachelor's and a master's degree.
218
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:31,560
When I was studying, I had to walk
an hour each way to my school in Paktika.
219
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,880
There were many
suicide attacks and fights.
220
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,840
My father told me not to go anymore.
221
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,280
So I started going to school secretly.
222
00:23:41,360 --> 00:23:44,520
I was going to school in secret
after he went to the office.
223
00:23:45,120 --> 00:23:49,720
It was my lifetime dream
224
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:54,120
to see that my parents are proud
225
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:57,920
of my reputation and my achievements.
226
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:02,280
So please educate your daughters
and send them to school.
227
00:24:02,360 --> 00:24:08,240
If you educate one girl or woman,
you save ten generations.
228
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,320
Who wants to give me an example?
229
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:45,760
Education is the key
to a country's development.
230
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,240
This is the battle
between ignorance and knowledge.
231
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,160
The battle between light and dark.
232
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,240
You know, Mum,
233
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:18,280
I swear, sometimes
I don't want to get out of bed,
234
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:23,720
but I get up and get on with it
because I have to.
235
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:30,600
In this country, anyone who works
with honesty is soon murdered.
236
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:36,480
Unfortunately, that's how it is.
237
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,800
May God protect you.
You must take care of yourself.
238
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:05,720
My dad is a military officer
who thinks the home is a military base.
239
00:26:07,120 --> 00:26:13,120
He gives the orders,
and we're part of his battalion.
240
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,840
I had to make my father believe
241
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,400
that I was capable.
242
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:29,280
I always had to fight
against my dad's behaviour and mindset,
243
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:34,080
even about me going to university.
244
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:44,320
At least I changed my father's mindset.
245
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:51,680
I think that is
the biggest achievement of my life.
246
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:09,600
My flight is from here to Dubai,
247
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:11,760
Dubai to France,
248
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:15,400
and from France to the US, Washington, DC.
249
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:20,640
Me and the whole nation
are so proud of you.
250
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:33,760
The US has just signed
a peace deal with the Taliban.
251
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:39,200
President Trump has said that US troops
will leave Afghanistan entirely
252
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:43,160
if the Taliban cease their violence
towards US forces.
253
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:49,240
Bashir, dear, the only thing that is
a bit positive in this agreement is that
254
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:55,960
if either party violates the agreement,
255
00:27:56,560 --> 00:28:00,280
then it will be terminated.
256
00:28:00,360 --> 00:28:03,000
Do a campaign there. Have faith in God.
257
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:07,000
Your voice is powerful.
258
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,040
Your words and messages must be heard.
259
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,800
You must not cry, or I won't go.
260
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:19,640
No, no. Go.
261
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:51,440
Zarifa Ghafari, the first woman mayor,
262
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,520
along with ten other women
from different parts of the world,
263
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,560
was selected
for the Women of Courage award
264
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:01,000
by the department of foreign affairs
of the United States.
265
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:46,840
That this bravery award was received,
at a global level, by Zarifa Ghafari,
266
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,920
Mayor of Maidan Wardak,
267
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:53,920
represents a fundamental change
in our political system.
268
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:57,160
Hi, dear Bashir.
269
00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:01,000
The president said my name
at the parliament inauguration ceremony!
270
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:05,440
He said that I was a brave woman!
271
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:08,960
And that I have made
the whole nation proud!
272
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:19,360
I am so, so, so proud. You're the pride
of the nation, and that's enough.
273
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:24,200
You won't die unless we are dead.
274
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,000
First, I will die, and then you.
275
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:30,400
Then, we both will enter paradise
and live there forever, okay?
276
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:36,400
My fiancé, Bashir…
277
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:38,720
My dear Bashir…
278
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,800
Bashir is why I smile.
279
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:06,640
When he realised
that I had found my mission in life,
280
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:09,760
he stood beside me,
281
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:13,840
and he has encouraged me in all my work.
282
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:18,240
He has applauded, enjoyed, and celebrated.
283
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:25,640
This one is beautiful.
284
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:32,320
These are childish.
I don't like them at all, none of them.
285
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:34,840
This is all of them. This one.
286
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:42,640
Who expected this would happen so soon?
287
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:44,320
Please get closer.
288
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:13,040
I am perhaps the luckiest Afghan woman
289
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,720
to have a partner like him.
290
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:23,640
Look at my little baby.
291
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:31,720
Why?
292
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:35,000
What do you mean, Dad?
293
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,680
What do you mean?
294
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:42,280
So I will just get a house
for myself, Dad.
295
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:45,600
Okay. Thank you.
296
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:55,880
I'm not a kid.
297
00:32:56,400 --> 00:33:01,880
He's of that old mindset
that the groom shouldn't come to my house
298
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:07,040
until we are married.
299
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:11,520
The tradition is
to accompany the bride to her house,
300
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,600
party there for a bit, and then leave.
301
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:15,520
Isn't it?
302
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:19,160
Now my dad is saying
that he doesn't want this.
303
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:23,080
What do you really want, Dad?
Just tell me.
304
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:26,160
There's no reason.
Just do what I told you to.
305
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:30,120
No, Dad. This is my life, for God's sake.
306
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:32,360
What's the reason? What do you want?
307
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:38,200
Unless you guys are married,
he shouldn't come to my house. That's all!
308
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:42,160
What do you mean?
Are you kicking me out of the house?
309
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:45,840
Are you kicking me out of the house?
310
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:47,440
Is it your house?
311
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:05,400
You know, life is much harder
than anyone can imagine.
312
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:13,400
Especially the life of a girl
who wants to have everything.
313
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:16,880
Who wants to do everything by herself.
314
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:22,040
She is stopped
from the moment she leaves home
315
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:27,720
until she gets to a position of power.
316
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:30,880
It's difficult.
317
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:38,280
I live in a society where I even
have to fight against my dad's thoughts.
318
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:43,400
I even have to make my dad understand
319
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:47,160
that I am a human.
320
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:51,760
Today, Zarifa Ghafari,
the mayor of Maidan Wardak,
321
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:54,960
survived an attack.
322
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:58,560
She said that on her way home
from Maidan Wardak,
323
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:04,600
a car opened fire at her
in the Khushal Khan area of Kabul.
324
00:36:06,240 --> 00:36:10,760
My fiancé was with me and was driving.
325
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:14,800
They opened fire on us
326
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:18,520
before we were able
327
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:23,400
to fire our gun back.
328
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:29,000
This is just one of many attacks
in recent weeks.
329
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:33,440
The Taliban have been targeting
government officials in the capital
330
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:39,920
in an effort to show the people
that the government has lost control.
331
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:53,480
Who's that?
332
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:05,880
Come on in. How are you?
333
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:10,280
I have to tell you something important.
334
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:14,720
The Haqqani network wants to harm us.
335
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:18,520
Initially, I didn't take it seriously,
336
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:21,120
but since receiving this call,
I know it's serious.
337
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:27,960
They said they would share it
with other departments too.
338
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:31,200
But it's important
that you take some measures yourself.
339
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:38,000
May God protect us.
We should be extra careful.
340
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:21,840
Abdul Wasi Ghafari,
the father of Zarifa Ghafari,
341
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:25,320
the mayor of Maidan Wardak province,
342
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:31,360
and a strike force commander
at the Ministry of Defence,
343
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:36,720
was assassinated yesterday by gunmen
outside his house in Kabul.
344
00:38:38,720 --> 00:38:41,640
Let the funeral car pass.
345
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:55,720
Uncle! Can I see him once more, please?
346
00:38:55,800 --> 00:39:00,080
-She's already seen him.
-I want to see him one last time.
347
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:03,240
Okay, go in from that side.
348
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:06,280
Wait. From this side.
349
00:39:07,720 --> 00:39:12,160
Rest in peace. We are here.
350
00:39:12,240 --> 00:39:14,360
We'll take care of everything.
351
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:17,680
You're a martyr, a hero!
352
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:20,080
We'll take care of it, Dad!
353
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:21,760
Come on, hop off.
354
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:26,400
Come on, my dear! People are waiting.
355
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:28,680
Come on, dear,
everything is waiting out there
356
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:30,240
and you know it, my dear.
357
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:01,560
The Taliban claimed responsibility for it.
358
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:12,880
I feel guilty about what happened
to my father and family.
359
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:14,200
If it wasn't for me,
360
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:18,480
my father would be alive now.
361
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:31,600
Sometimes I regret
having had bad thoughts about him.
362
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:42,120
I miss him so much.
363
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:16,480
Last night, while laying down…
364
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:20,520
I was thinking,
365
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:23,320
it's hard to believe
366
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:28,800
my husband has died.
367
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:33,120
And about how easily he left us.
368
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:37,520
He was a healthy person,
369
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:40,360
who left home full of hope.
370
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:45,240
And they brutally killed him.
371
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:49,640
You lose him so easily
that you ask yourself, "Where did he go?"
372
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:52,160
As if it was a nightmare.
373
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:13,880
Noman wrote something.
374
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:17,560
Should they go another round?
375
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:25,000
He wrote two letters at school,
one for me and one for his dad.
376
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:29,320
He wrote, "Dear Dad,
377
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:33,840
thank you for being with me
until I was nine years old."
378
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:36,880
"But you left us so soon."
379
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:44,240
He wrote one to me.
380
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:46,640
"I'm grateful that you're still alive."
381
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:57,480
While reading it, I thought…
382
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:02,840
that a kid at his age
383
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:09,360
should be playing in a playground.
384
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:19,280
But all he wanted
was for his mum to be alive.
385
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:30,400
Jump!
386
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:33,640
Come, go on.
387
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:47,280
Hey, Mum, do this
without thinking or crying.
388
00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:58,240
It's this pain
389
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:04,520
that we Afghan women have been enduring.
390
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:11,040
And every second,
we're just waiting for what's next.
391
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:24,120
War, war, war until now.
392
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:29,240
Many countries came here
saying they would help us.
393
00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:32,040
Where's your help?
394
00:44:32,720 --> 00:44:34,320
We're still grieving.
395
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:37,840
We're still suffering.
396
00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:40,400
So why did you come in the first place?
397
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:44,400
And now that you're leaving,
what did you achieve?
398
00:45:11,720 --> 00:45:17,000
Please cheer for the champions
of this nation!
399
00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:23,400
I am proud to be the daughter
of a military officer
400
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:26,120
who served for 37 years.
401
00:45:27,240 --> 00:45:31,000
I'm the daughter of someone
who was one of you.
402
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:38,040
Cowardly, despicable,
and shameless enemies
403
00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:40,440
martyred my father.
404
00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:44,160
They are brutal cowards.
405
00:45:44,240 --> 00:45:47,800
If he had died fighting,
I wouldn't be sad.
406
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:55,280
But they killed my father
right in front my little brother.
407
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:57,880
It was cowardly.
408
00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:02,680
They killed him in front of our house.
409
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:04,600
They shot him in the back of the head.
410
00:46:05,720 --> 00:46:07,800
When my father was martyred,
411
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:12,080
everyone said, "Zarifa will leave her job
in Maidan Wardak and escape."
412
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:14,000
But my mother told me
413
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:16,720
to keep up my struggle
414
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:21,520
and to continue as long as I can speak.
415
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:43,840
Take a deep breath, focus,
416
00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:46,840
and pull the trigger.
417
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:45,800
Here we go.
418
00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:53,800
Both sides are exchanging "gifts."
419
00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:56,960
Since morning.
It's been like this for a week now.
420
00:47:58,680 --> 00:48:00,040
The situation is bad.
421
00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:03,320
The army went to retake
the other district.
422
00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:04,480
Jaghato?
423
00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:18,120
As the Taliban react to the news
of imminent US troop withdrawal,
424
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:21,520
violence is continuing across the country.
425
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:32,400
A lot has changed in the last year.
426
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:38,400
There's more insecurity, mafia, theft.
427
00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:40,320
So a lot has changed.
428
00:48:43,680 --> 00:48:46,640
War swallows the helpless and poor.
429
00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:52,360
If you join the government,
the Taliban kills you.
430
00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:55,840
If you join the Taliban,
the government kills you.
431
00:48:55,920 --> 00:49:01,920
Whatever your circumstances,
life here is very difficult.
432
00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:08,080
Some of the Afghan forces
were surrounded in Raghistan district.
433
00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:11,080
These soldiers have told the media
434
00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:13,560
that they lack food and equipment.
435
00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:20,240
The Taliban are trying to cut off
connections with the big cities.
436
00:49:30,520 --> 00:49:33,080
The provinces are falling one by one.
437
00:49:34,360 --> 00:49:40,800
The Taliban claim that 80% of the country
is under their control.
438
00:49:49,240 --> 00:49:52,720
Politicians begged for money
from the world
439
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:55,680
and put it in their own pockets.
440
00:49:57,000 --> 00:50:01,600
And people are upset
with the government because of this,
441
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:05,320
and so they are supporting the Taliban.
442
00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:19,360
The international community says
443
00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:21,880
they brought money to help Afghanistan.
444
00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:23,720
Where in Afghanistan did they help?
445
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:29,080
They lied to the people of Afghanistan
by saying they'd help us.
446
00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:33,200
We haven't seen any of their support.
Look around here.
447
00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:37,200
There are no bridges, no road,
no clinic, no doctor, and no school.
448
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:39,240
We will build this country ourselves.
449
00:50:44,320 --> 00:50:49,000
Get those 20 people ready over here.
450
00:50:49,600 --> 00:50:54,560
You are the new recruits
for this new unit.
451
00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:56,040
Where is his coat?
452
00:50:56,120 --> 00:50:57,960
Give him his coat.
453
00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:00,080
Give him his coat.
454
00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:02,800
-Have they brought towels?
-No, they haven't.
455
00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:05,680
All right, just put on your headscarf.
456
00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:09,280
You've got a big head. It doesn't fit.
457
00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:11,800
You tied it upside down.
458
00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:13,440
They sewed it wrong.
459
00:51:14,560 --> 00:51:16,920
They made it like this.
460
00:51:20,520 --> 00:51:26,560
You have all witnessed
the occupiers come to Afghanistan.
461
00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:32,400
The occupiers have looted Afghanistan.
462
00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:34,600
They looted the whole of Afghanistan.
463
00:51:34,680 --> 00:51:38,400
They destroyed people's houses.
464
00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:41,280
I am from a small village
in the countryside,
465
00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:45,320
just like most of the Taliban.
466
00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:53,000
Talib is my brother, Talib is my cousin.
467
00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:56,560
The Taliban are from the same blood as me.
468
00:51:58,480 --> 00:51:59,960
The way they have chosen,
469
00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:02,280
I don't agree with it.
470
00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:06,120
Taliban are Afghans,
471
00:52:06,640 --> 00:52:08,120
just misled Afghans.
472
00:52:11,520 --> 00:52:13,560
Hey, let's play football.
473
00:52:15,160 --> 00:52:16,400
Come here, boys!
474
00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:30,320
The government area
has kidnappings and robberies.
475
00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:35,800
Our territory is 100% safe.
476
00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:39,760
You can travel anywhere, day and night.
477
00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:42,680
You deserve a yellow card!
478
00:52:46,320 --> 00:52:48,920
In Afghanistan,
you have to pick up the gun.
479
00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:53,600
A voice alone does nothing.
480
00:53:13,400 --> 00:53:14,440
What's going on?
481
00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:16,160
It's a car accident.
482
00:53:16,240 --> 00:53:18,720
Is it a car accident or are they fighting?
483
00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:21,200
No, move forward.
484
00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:24,600
I'll park there. I'll see what's going on.
485
00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:27,000
It's a protest.
486
00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:32,120
I'm fine. Thanks, Commander.
How are you? Thank you.
487
00:53:32,200 --> 00:53:35,920
There's a protest happening
on the Kabul-Maidan road.
488
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:39,960
Last night, three civilians were killed
in a military operation by the 001 unit.
489
00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:05,040
He was just a labourer,
nothing more than that.
490
00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:09,000
He was a tractor driver.
491
00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:11,240
Why did they kill him?
492
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:18,320
They shot him dead last night.
It's not fair!
493
00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:20,360
Clear the way!
494
00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:23,760
This innocent person has been killed!
495
00:54:24,880 --> 00:54:27,920
We don't want the puppets of America!
That pimp!
496
00:54:29,040 --> 00:54:31,200
Long live the Mujahideen (Taliban)!
497
00:54:36,920 --> 00:54:40,000
The route is shut because of a mission.
498
00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:43,080
There is fighting going on in Kunj.
499
00:54:43,160 --> 00:54:45,280
Stay in the car.
500
00:54:45,360 --> 00:54:49,120
Let's see what happens. Trust in God.
501
00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:12,000
The rice is yours.
502
00:55:13,040 --> 00:55:14,800
-Is it rice?
-No, beans.
503
00:55:16,920 --> 00:55:21,760
Are there Taliban inside Mazar?
504
00:55:21,840 --> 00:55:26,120
In one or two provinces,
where the Taliban are in control,
505
00:55:26,200 --> 00:55:30,480
I heard that they are forcing
the young girls and women
506
00:55:30,560 --> 00:55:34,720
to get married to them.
507
00:55:34,800 --> 00:55:39,600
Worst-case scenario,
if I have to, I will marry a Talib,
508
00:55:39,680 --> 00:55:44,880
and then I'll become a Talib and kill him.
509
00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:47,240
I know what I am going to do.
510
00:55:47,320 --> 00:55:50,480
-We live on the sixth floor right?
-Yes.
511
00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:53,440
One of the lifts has a net,
but the other one doesn't.
512
00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:54,880
We'll open it.
513
00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:57,360
I'll jump first, then her,
514
00:55:57,440 --> 00:55:59,200
and then she can jump on me
515
00:55:59,280 --> 00:56:04,600
because she doesn't want to die,
but we would.
516
00:56:04,680 --> 00:56:07,160
She'll fall on top of us
so she doesn't feel any pain.
517
00:56:07,240 --> 00:56:10,240
I'll die first and then others.
518
00:56:10,760 --> 00:56:14,040
Otherwise, we'll have to hide our phones,
519
00:56:14,120 --> 00:56:18,080
wear burkas, and sit in our houses.
520
00:56:18,160 --> 00:56:21,920
Isn't it better to marry a Talib
than throw yourself from the building?
521
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:25,240
No, the lift shaft is better.
522
00:56:41,880 --> 00:56:44,960
The Taliban were lashing a woman
523
00:56:45,040 --> 00:56:49,160
just because she had
no male companion outside.
524
00:56:51,400 --> 00:56:56,640
I don't know where humanity,
logic, or Islam instructs it.
525
00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:01,720
What's going to happen
after the withdrawal?
526
00:57:34,960 --> 00:57:36,680
Hello, good morning.
527
00:57:38,720 --> 00:57:39,880
Excuse me, Doctor.
528
00:57:42,960 --> 00:57:44,040
Look who came.
529
00:57:44,120 --> 00:57:48,720
The mayor of Maidan Wardak
came a long way to meet you.
530
00:57:49,560 --> 00:57:52,000
She wants to see how you feel.
531
00:57:53,960 --> 00:57:55,040
Be strong.
532
00:57:56,760 --> 00:57:58,440
Dear, my dear.
533
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:04,600
As-Salaam-Alaikum, my dearest sister.
534
00:58:04,680 --> 00:58:06,280
-Are you okay?
-Yes, thanks.
535
00:58:06,360 --> 00:58:09,800
-Where were you when the attack happened?
-We'd just been let out of school.
536
00:58:09,880 --> 00:58:12,320
We took two steps forward,
then it exploded.
537
00:58:12,400 --> 00:58:15,160
I was horrified and scared.
538
00:58:15,240 --> 00:58:17,520
I didn't know if I was dead or alive.
539
00:58:17,600 --> 00:58:21,240
I was just hoping my mother
wouldn't be terrified and I could go home.
540
00:58:21,840 --> 00:58:24,200
-What year are you in?
-Upper sixth.
541
00:58:24,280 --> 00:58:25,440
Upper sixth?
542
00:58:25,520 --> 00:58:29,840
So when you've finished school,
I'll see you in university, okay?
543
00:58:38,560 --> 00:58:43,640
We Afghans don't stop
at one or two people.
544
00:58:43,720 --> 00:58:47,960
They killed dozens of kids.
545
00:58:50,440 --> 00:58:53,520
If a lion hunts,
it kills and eats just one.
546
00:58:54,040 --> 00:58:59,920
It does not hunt the whole family.
547
00:59:04,320 --> 00:59:07,040
I don't want my family
to pay for my choices anymore.
548
00:59:12,200 --> 00:59:13,880
These books are mine.
549
00:59:13,960 --> 00:59:16,560
Saliheen, I will tell you. Put it there.
550
00:59:29,800 --> 00:59:34,400
Hello, brothers, how are you?
551
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:37,880
I am being transferred to Kabul
for a new job.
552
00:59:37,960 --> 00:59:40,280
I wanted to say goodbye to you all
before I left.
553
00:59:40,360 --> 00:59:43,640
If I ever offended anyone,
please forgive me.
554
00:59:45,240 --> 00:59:48,320
I wish you all the very best of luck.
555
00:59:53,960 --> 00:59:57,360
Thank you very much.
556
00:59:58,160 --> 01:00:02,680
Thank you very much. Keep well!
557
01:00:09,160 --> 01:00:13,360
Thank you very much, dear Haji Saib.
558
01:00:17,320 --> 01:00:18,880
You can go. I will follow.
559
01:00:48,920 --> 01:00:51,600
She got a new job
at the Ministry of Defence,
560
01:00:51,680 --> 01:00:53,400
but she won't take me with her.
561
01:00:56,800 --> 01:00:58,160
Why did I lose my job?
562
01:00:58,920 --> 01:01:00,840
Did I have any flaws?
563
01:01:03,560 --> 01:01:09,720
Didn't I help her in her hour of need?
564
01:01:12,800 --> 01:01:16,400
Wasn't I ready to devote myself for her?
565
01:01:17,640 --> 01:01:18,680
On the contrary…
566
01:01:21,360 --> 01:01:26,400
I shielded her from bullets
when we were ambushed.
567
01:01:28,640 --> 01:01:30,560
But now I have been left behind.
568
01:01:33,920 --> 01:01:35,880
I sacrificed myself for her
569
01:01:36,960 --> 01:01:40,840
and made myself an enemy
of the whole Islamic Emirate (Taliban).
570
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:46,120
That was my biggest sacrifice for her.
571
01:02:09,440 --> 01:02:12,680
I got a new job
at the Ministry of Defence.
572
01:02:14,480 --> 01:02:18,000
Go downstairs. I will come.
573
01:02:22,040 --> 01:02:25,920
I tried to keep Massoum as my driver,
574
01:02:27,440 --> 01:02:31,560
but the ministry had strict rules
575
01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:39,040
and it did not allow me to have
a driver who wasn't in the military.
576
01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:50,880
Unfortunately, Massoum thinks
that I betrayed him.
577
01:02:58,320 --> 01:03:02,040
When you see that the world betrays you,
578
01:03:03,600 --> 01:03:08,800
you see everyone as a traitor,
and you think everyone betrayed you.
579
01:03:15,480 --> 01:03:18,040
I'm head of the department
for the martyred and disabled.
580
01:03:18,120 --> 01:03:20,240
That's my car and I hold an ID card.
581
01:03:20,320 --> 01:03:23,680
I'm looking for the families of soldiers.
582
01:03:23,760 --> 01:03:27,360
I'm listing their names.
The Ministry of Defence will help them.
583
01:03:30,160 --> 01:03:32,120
-Father's name?
-Mohammadullah.
584
01:03:32,200 --> 01:03:33,760
-What?
-Mohammadullah.
585
01:03:33,840 --> 01:03:35,840
-Mohammad…
-Mohammadullah.
586
01:03:35,920 --> 01:03:40,640
Where was your son stationed?
Do you have documents?
587
01:03:41,280 --> 01:03:45,400
I'm looking for the families of soldiers.
588
01:03:45,480 --> 01:03:47,240
We're trying to help you.
589
01:03:47,320 --> 01:03:49,760
All we need is shelter.
590
01:03:49,840 --> 01:03:52,440
Were any of your family members
in the national army?
591
01:03:52,520 --> 01:03:53,520
No, sister.
592
01:03:54,560 --> 01:03:58,440
Hello, sir. Was your son
in the national army?
593
01:03:58,520 --> 01:03:59,520
No.
594
01:03:59,600 --> 01:04:02,720
We're searching for the families
of the national army.
595
01:04:03,280 --> 01:04:05,000
Your father's name is Mohammad Noor?
596
01:04:05,080 --> 01:04:07,440
My husband's in the army.
His brothers were martyred.
597
01:04:07,520 --> 01:04:11,240
Excuse me, sister,
what list are you writing?
598
01:04:11,320 --> 01:04:13,320
Bashir, take this one.
599
01:04:13,400 --> 01:04:16,360
Two family members were murdered.
600
01:04:16,960 --> 01:04:20,080
The ones responsible for police
will come tomorrow.
601
01:04:20,160 --> 01:04:23,760
I can't register families of the police.
602
01:04:23,840 --> 01:04:25,600
Can you hear?
603
01:04:25,680 --> 01:04:29,120
I cannot do anything!
604
01:04:39,560 --> 01:04:42,120
What do I do, my dear?
Please, do something.
605
01:04:42,200 --> 01:04:44,880
Tell me, what am I meant to do, my dear?
606
01:04:44,960 --> 01:04:46,240
That's up to you.
607
01:04:46,320 --> 01:04:47,440
I'm so underprivileged.
608
01:04:47,520 --> 01:04:49,880
My son is mentally ill.
One of my sons went missing.
609
01:04:49,960 --> 01:04:51,720
My husband was killed in the fighting.
610
01:04:51,800 --> 01:04:55,120
I will leave. God bless you.
611
01:04:55,200 --> 01:04:58,520
God bless your father.
612
01:05:21,480 --> 01:05:24,960
The Taliban took control
of many districts today.
613
01:05:25,040 --> 01:05:28,160
That means they control
most of the country
614
01:05:28,240 --> 01:05:32,800
except the largest cities.
615
01:05:36,160 --> 01:05:39,440
I am unemployed now.
616
01:05:44,240 --> 01:05:46,760
There are thousands
of young people like me,
617
01:05:46,840 --> 01:05:48,080
burning in this hell.
618
01:05:52,520 --> 01:05:54,880
The biggest disaster is disappointment.
619
01:07:22,760 --> 01:07:23,960
Wait.
620
01:08:17,640 --> 01:08:21,000
I don't know why
we have been sentenced to this.
621
01:08:21,640 --> 01:08:25,840
I know I won't survive if I stay.
622
01:08:29,720 --> 01:08:31,520
I don't want to leave.
623
01:08:37,520 --> 01:08:39,200
I don't have an alternative.
624
01:09:02,720 --> 01:09:04,680
They are leaving.
625
01:09:05,280 --> 01:09:08,120
-Where are they going?
-Kabul is being evacuated.
626
01:09:19,040 --> 01:09:21,400
We'll only leave
if we can get out together.
627
01:09:21,480 --> 01:09:22,760
Or we don't go.
628
01:09:26,640 --> 01:09:28,960
I built this home with so much hope.
629
01:09:29,800 --> 01:09:31,800
I was so hopeful for life.
630
01:09:34,480 --> 01:09:35,520
It's okay.
631
01:09:37,200 --> 01:09:38,600
God is kind.
632
01:09:47,320 --> 01:09:50,120
We can't keep you here.
633
01:09:54,760 --> 01:09:56,520
Bashir, I will not leave you here.
634
01:09:56,600 --> 01:10:00,320
I won't leave.
I won't go anywhere without you.
635
01:10:01,120 --> 01:10:03,520
Either we go together
or we won't go at all.
636
01:10:44,440 --> 01:10:48,120
I'm leaving everything, Mum.
This is utter cowardice.
637
01:13:51,960 --> 01:13:54,120
Sometimes I celebrate
And laugh, my friend
638
01:13:54,200 --> 01:13:57,080
Sometimes I am sad and cry, my friend
639
01:13:57,160 --> 01:13:59,520
Sometimes, I fly like a bird
640
01:14:00,120 --> 01:14:03,360
Sometimes, I am the salt
Rubbed into your wounds
641
01:14:10,400 --> 01:14:14,880
The sudden regime change is strange.
642
01:14:15,680 --> 01:14:17,880
No one could have imagined it.
643
01:14:20,400 --> 01:14:23,600
Will Afghanistan see another invasion?
644
01:14:25,000 --> 01:14:26,480
Will we return to war?
645
01:14:27,840 --> 01:14:29,400
Will we be bombed again?
646
01:14:31,400 --> 01:14:33,760
Will they put me in prison
in the name of the Taliban
647
01:14:33,840 --> 01:14:35,200
or as a terrorist?
648
01:14:35,280 --> 01:14:36,240
It is not clear.
649
01:14:39,600 --> 01:14:42,520
The future is now totally uncertain.
650
01:14:59,480 --> 01:15:05,400
I am happy because I am still
beside my daughter,
651
01:15:07,000 --> 01:15:08,240
who is my whole life.
652
01:15:08,960 --> 01:15:11,120
I will do anything to protect her.
653
01:15:34,880 --> 01:15:37,480
Freedom, freedom! Is our basic right!
654
01:15:37,560 --> 01:15:40,840
Today women protesters
took to the streets of Kabul,
655
01:15:40,920 --> 01:15:44,280
saying the Taliban
were oppressing women's freedoms.
656
01:15:46,040 --> 01:15:51,640
The Taliban government
is not legitimate without women's rights.
657
01:16:01,640 --> 01:16:04,880
Seeing this, I have two feelings.
658
01:16:06,480 --> 01:16:10,880
First, that these women are very strong
659
01:16:10,960 --> 01:16:12,800
and I am proud of them.
660
01:16:14,720 --> 01:16:19,200
Second, that I am sad
661
01:16:20,160 --> 01:16:23,600
not to be among them.
662
01:16:55,120 --> 01:16:58,720
Sanctions on the Taliban
have meant food prices have increased
663
01:16:58,800 --> 01:17:01,040
throughout Afghanistan.
664
01:17:01,120 --> 01:17:06,280
Many NGOs and businesses left
at the same time as the foreign forces,
665
01:17:06,360 --> 01:17:13,000
so homelessness, poverty, and unemployment
666
01:17:13,080 --> 01:17:15,000
are on the rise.
667
01:17:19,520 --> 01:17:22,360
Listen to what I am saying.
I do not have the resources.
668
01:17:22,440 --> 01:17:25,200
-When I find the resources--
-You listen to what I say.
669
01:17:25,280 --> 01:17:29,720
Poverty is at its peak.
Please, do not bother me anymore.
670
01:17:29,800 --> 01:17:32,920
I do not have the capability.
I am helpless.
671
01:17:36,680 --> 01:17:37,960
Call Sadia.
672
01:17:38,040 --> 01:17:39,040
I am Sadia.
673
01:17:44,240 --> 01:17:48,480
Look at what these poor and needy people
are going through.
674
01:17:49,520 --> 01:17:52,760
All of them are in need
of a single loaf of bread.
675
01:17:52,840 --> 01:17:55,360
Why? What was the reason?
676
01:17:55,440 --> 01:17:57,720
Who committed treason in this country?
677
01:17:57,800 --> 01:17:59,200
May God damn them!
678
01:18:07,920 --> 01:18:13,160
Here, we are living in the dirt.
679
01:18:15,000 --> 01:18:21,320
Some of the jobless have become addicts.
680
01:18:24,160 --> 01:18:28,760
Aren't poor people human beings?
681
01:18:29,400 --> 01:18:32,400
Don't they also have hearts and needs?
682
01:18:59,680 --> 01:19:04,200
Our city is full of the poor
683
01:19:04,800 --> 01:19:09,040
It does not deserve bombing
684
01:19:13,880 --> 01:19:18,920
I worked with someone
who went on the world stage
685
01:19:19,000 --> 01:19:23,360
and called the Taliban a dark government.
686
01:19:25,240 --> 01:19:28,160
I don't know what they think of me.
687
01:19:29,880 --> 01:19:32,920
I don't know what the future holds.
688
01:19:35,000 --> 01:19:38,000
Life or death, only God knows.
689
01:19:50,440 --> 01:19:53,680
How are you? All well?
690
01:19:53,760 --> 01:19:56,560
You don't have any guns, right? Move.
691
01:19:59,800 --> 01:20:01,640
You know what's good about it?
692
01:20:02,160 --> 01:20:03,120
THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD
693
01:20:03,200 --> 01:20:04,240
It's the freedom.
694
01:20:04,320 --> 01:20:07,360
After taking the car from Maidan,
695
01:20:07,440 --> 01:20:10,240
there wasn't a police checkpoint
to stop me.
696
01:20:10,320 --> 01:20:12,200
In the previous regime,
697
01:20:12,280 --> 01:20:16,360
I was a driver for Zarifa.
698
01:20:16,440 --> 01:20:18,520
Zarifa was a mayor here?
699
01:20:18,600 --> 01:20:20,440
Yeah, she was a nasty woman!
700
01:20:20,520 --> 01:20:23,720
-He is a mujahid?
-I was a mujahid then as well.
701
01:20:23,800 --> 01:20:27,160
Yeah, right!
Not a mujahid, a woman's driver!
702
01:20:27,240 --> 01:20:29,280
I was a driver for the municipality.
703
01:20:29,360 --> 01:20:33,120
There was a woman in charge here.
She was doing literally everything.
704
01:20:33,200 --> 01:20:35,760
You shouldn't have served her, my friend.
705
01:20:35,840 --> 01:20:37,000
No.
706
01:20:37,080 --> 01:20:41,800
No. The problem is politics is dirty.
707
01:20:41,880 --> 01:20:44,280
We made an ambush on her,
708
01:20:44,360 --> 01:20:45,440
but God saved him.
709
01:20:46,360 --> 01:20:48,400
I was this close to the bullet.
710
01:20:49,720 --> 01:20:52,560
Hey, come here!
711
01:20:53,080 --> 01:20:54,920
This is the person who shot me.
712
01:20:55,560 --> 01:20:57,320
On that day,
713
01:20:59,200 --> 01:21:01,160
I was almost killed.
714
01:21:01,920 --> 01:21:03,480
It's good that I survived!
715
01:21:21,480 --> 01:21:22,880
"Father."
716
01:21:25,000 --> 01:21:27,920
V has the sound of F, right?
717
01:21:28,760 --> 01:21:29,760
"Father."
718
01:21:31,200 --> 01:21:33,840
"Father."
719
01:21:33,920 --> 01:21:38,120
Together we've learned "Guten Tag."
720
01:21:45,960 --> 01:21:48,880
It's been four months, and I'm sick of it.
721
01:21:50,160 --> 01:21:53,840
Even if the world explodes,
722
01:21:54,960 --> 01:21:56,160
I must go back once.
723
01:21:57,040 --> 01:21:58,840
I will spend one night there.
724
01:21:59,440 --> 01:22:03,400
I must do this
at least to awaken my generation,
725
01:22:03,480 --> 01:22:07,360
and, specifically, to awaken my gender.
726
01:22:07,440 --> 01:22:08,720
I can't not do this.
727
01:22:10,040 --> 01:22:11,280
And if they kill you?
728
01:22:12,760 --> 01:22:15,160
If I die,
729
01:22:15,240 --> 01:22:17,280
I will die for a reason.
730
01:22:26,320 --> 01:22:27,480
I am with you.
731
01:22:36,440 --> 01:22:38,720
-Hello.
-How are you, sister?
732
01:22:38,800 --> 01:22:42,440
Now about my return,
733
01:22:42,520 --> 01:22:47,240
I want to put politics aside.
734
01:22:47,320 --> 01:22:52,040
In general, there are no obstacles.
735
01:23:12,120 --> 01:23:17,280
Now that Kabul
is under the control of the Taliban,
736
01:23:17,360 --> 01:23:21,960
Afghanistan no longer
makes the news headlines.
737
01:23:25,680 --> 01:23:29,640
People are talking about Ukraine.
738
01:23:30,160 --> 01:23:33,480
And the Taliban are using this opportunity
739
01:23:35,760 --> 01:23:38,560
to become worse again.
740
01:23:39,240 --> 01:23:45,320
They have imprisoned
the protesting girls and women.
741
01:23:46,160 --> 01:23:51,360
They promised to reopen
the girls' schools, but they haven't.
742
01:23:56,360 --> 01:23:59,120
THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD
743
01:24:09,040 --> 01:24:11,760
THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD
744
01:24:17,160 --> 01:24:20,520
Hello!
745
01:24:20,600 --> 01:24:26,760
Oh God. Come here all of you!
746
01:24:37,320 --> 01:24:41,280
My guest today is Zarifa Ghafari,
the former mayor of Maidan Wardak.
747
01:24:41,360 --> 01:24:43,880
-Ms Ghafari, thank you for joining us.
-Thank you.
748
01:24:43,960 --> 01:24:46,960
You've returned to Kabul.
What's the purpose of your visit?
749
01:24:47,040 --> 01:24:50,600
The Taliban need to work
to gain the approval
750
01:24:50,680 --> 01:24:53,200
of more than half the population,
the women.
751
01:24:53,280 --> 01:24:57,520
I call upon all elders and rulers
752
01:24:57,600 --> 01:25:02,400
in the current government of Afghanistan,
753
01:25:02,480 --> 01:25:06,360
if they still have
any women protesters in jail,
754
01:25:06,440 --> 01:25:10,600
to set them free for their human dignity.
755
01:25:11,120 --> 01:25:13,720
We, women, are ready for a dialogue.
756
01:25:13,800 --> 01:25:17,960
Let's have a dialogue
to resolve our issues.
757
01:25:18,040 --> 01:25:21,600
Here is a question
addressed directly to you personally.
758
01:25:21,680 --> 01:25:25,000
Have you forgiven your father's murderers?
759
01:25:25,680 --> 01:25:28,680
If it heals any pain,
760
01:25:28,760 --> 01:25:33,040
and prevents other Zarifas
from becoming orphans
761
01:25:33,120 --> 01:25:36,440
or another Abdul Wasi from dying,
762
01:25:36,520 --> 01:25:37,520
then yes.
763
01:25:46,960 --> 01:25:50,520
"Zarifa Ghafari was a nobody."
764
01:25:50,600 --> 01:25:55,520
"It is obvious
how she got the position as a mayor."
765
01:25:55,600 --> 01:26:00,160
"She has no humanity and no morality."
766
01:26:07,160 --> 01:26:10,360
Some people are saying
that I have made a huge mistake.
767
01:26:11,480 --> 01:26:16,280
People are saying I have done a deal
with my father's murderers.
768
01:26:16,920 --> 01:26:18,400
It makes me disappointed.
769
01:26:21,520 --> 01:26:26,080
Anyone who wants to help the people
770
01:26:27,160 --> 01:26:31,880
is accused of whitewashing the Taliban.
771
01:26:34,720 --> 01:26:40,560
But I still believe
that I am doing the right thing.
772
01:26:41,080 --> 01:26:45,800
And I am sure that I am not wrong.
773
01:27:12,240 --> 01:27:17,600
Now I see the people
774
01:27:18,440 --> 01:27:20,360
who were holding guns against me
775
01:27:21,080 --> 01:27:22,680
and who wanted to kill me.
776
01:27:26,720 --> 01:27:29,800
I'm not sure if the way they laugh with me
777
01:27:30,640 --> 01:27:33,320
is a laugh of love or hate.
778
01:27:34,240 --> 01:27:38,040
Does life or death
lie behind this laughter?
779
01:27:42,280 --> 01:27:45,760
My destiny awaits me behind the laughter.
780
01:27:56,120 --> 01:28:01,480
The people of Afghanistan
didn't choose this for themselves.
781
01:28:01,560 --> 01:28:07,000
This government was imposed on us
by the international community.
782
01:28:16,040 --> 01:28:20,120
The people of Afghanistan
have been condemned
783
01:28:20,200 --> 01:28:23,760
to live in hell.
784
01:28:46,720 --> 01:28:52,200
Ladies, I am the owner of this school.
785
01:28:52,280 --> 01:28:55,120
This is not just about learning,
786
01:28:55,200 --> 01:28:58,200
but also to see how I can help you,
787
01:28:58,720 --> 01:29:03,120
if you decide to start something
on your own in the future.
788
01:29:03,200 --> 01:29:09,840
What matters is to use this opportunity
to learn something.
789
01:29:09,920 --> 01:29:15,080
We will stand strong, work and struggle.
We do it for ourselves.
790
01:29:21,480 --> 01:29:25,480
Here is a little rice,
sugar, and some oil.
791
01:29:26,520 --> 01:29:28,360
Give it to this woman, please.
792
01:29:31,320 --> 01:29:34,000
Who's ever seen a female suicide bomber?
793
01:29:34,600 --> 01:29:35,720
Who?
794
01:29:36,400 --> 01:29:39,720
In this country, whenever there was a war,
the men started it.
795
01:29:39,800 --> 01:29:46,320
-Let's pray for our country's prosperity.
-Amen.
796
01:29:46,400 --> 01:29:49,360
Pray that a woman becomes president
to rebuild this country.
797
01:29:49,440 --> 01:29:54,080
Let's lock up all men at home
and tell them not to leave the house,
798
01:29:54,160 --> 01:29:56,040
otherwise our Islam will be at risk.
799
01:29:56,120 --> 01:29:57,560
Men, leave now!
800
01:29:57,640 --> 01:30:00,760
Otherwise, my religion will be endangered
by the sight of you.
801
01:30:00,840 --> 01:30:04,440
No, I'm joking with you.
802
01:30:04,520 --> 01:30:07,920
-Should I take down this woman's number?
-Yes!
803
01:30:08,000 --> 01:30:09,640
Don't make yourself so tired.
804
01:30:14,680 --> 01:30:16,040
I am from this country.
805
01:30:17,480 --> 01:30:19,080
This is my place.
806
01:30:20,080 --> 01:30:23,920
I need to be here to help.
807
01:30:26,360 --> 01:30:27,800
I am joining this storm.
808
01:30:29,080 --> 01:30:31,360
Let's see where it will head.
809
01:30:31,440 --> 01:30:32,840
But I have faith.
