and this was one of the main challenges for navai and shah. to film someone was a very kind of convoluted kind of process which took a lot of thought. we'd go different routes, stop at a cafe first, then maybe ramita would go off by ourselves, get in a taxi with someone, i'll do a different route, i would rendezvous somewhere. and like working in afghanistan now, it's fine. as long as you're doing something which the taliban are kind of ok with. if you're doing anything that they don't like, then you've got to be really careful. in a sequence filmed secretly in herat prison, the team meet women being held by the taliban without trial or charge. so we found out that taliban intelligence agents were abducting women off the streets of herat for so—called moral crimes. immorality can be leaving home on your own without male guardian. and these women were disappearing. and, of course, what was happening to them is that they were being imprisoned, but there was no record of their imprisonment, so they were just disappearing into this black hole. fam
