Synopsis
(3/9/2010) A portrait of a young, talented Afghan woman who's being sold for marriage against her will and decides to risk her life by speaking exclusively to us. The story is set against a backdrop of what life is like for most Afghan women in the areas of education, childbirth and domestic violence. A highlight is unique footage inside a maternity ward, where wives of Taliban fighters unveil and allow themselves to be interviewed in front of our cameras. We also speak with an Afghan women's activist, who was elected to parliament but thrown out for speaking up about atrocities against women. And, as the American war effort expands in the Afghan south, we travel to the heart of the Taliban insurgency - rural Kandahar - and spends weeks with the soldiers of the US Army’s Charlie Co. 1st Battalion 12th Infantry Regiment as they fight to hold the line against Taliban fighters while waiting for the troops promised in President Obama’s second escalation of the war.
