Beneath the Veil follows freelance journalist Saira Shah as she travels covertly through her father's homeland of Afghanistan. Visiting major towns and small villages, Shah's journey reveals how the fundamentalist Taliban regime affects the lives of ordinary people.
This award-winning film, filmed in late 2000 and early 2001, is a devastating portrait of a country savaged by war and religious extremism, where journalists are no longer welcome, and where the rest of the world seems as distant as another planet.
