What Hope For The Future
Afghanistan under Taliban rule
A report exposing the hopes and fears of a war weary nation under Taliban rule.
In his dusty corn field in Afghanistan, a farmer tells us that the Taliban have at last brought peace. To him the mujahideen were marauders out to harass the local population. On the rocky, crater ridden road to Kabul, we stop a Taliban judge on his bicycle to ask him why girls are not allowed to attend school. After a prayer, he replies, "When normal conditions return, the women will once more be allowed to receive religious education." A teacher reveals how she was beaten by Taliban with rifles for having her face uncovered. As shown in this film, this is how the Taliban changed Afghan society under their control.
