In this documentary, journalist Roberto Cabrini embarks on a perilous journey to Afghanistan, a country now controlled by the Taliban. His mission is to document the reality of life in Afghanistan after the Taliban's return to power, as human rights violations are on the rise. The journey begins in Islamabad, Pakistan, where Cabrini prepares for the trip. He emphasizes his previous experiences covering Afghanistan during the Taliban's previous rule in 1996 and the U.S. intervention in 2009.
As Cabrini and his team cross the border into Afghanistan, they encounter a population struggling with unemployment, poverty, and uncertainty about the future. The Taliban's return has exacerbated these challenges. Despite the hardships, some Afghans are drawn to the Taliban's fundamentalist ideology and see them as a source of stability.
The documentary also highlights the difficulties faced by journalists in reporting on the situation, as the Taliban seeks to control information and suppress dissent. The journey takes Cabrini to the capital, Kabul, which is marked by empty streets, closed businesses, and a sense of insecurity.
Throughout the documentary, Cabrini and his team navigate a complex and dangerous landscape, shedding light on the stark realities facing the Afghan people in the wake of the Taliban's return to power.
