This documentary examines the problems in post-Taliban Afghanistan. It is the result of many hours of interviews with political activists, scholars and policy-makers inside the country. Key interviewees include: members of the Afghan Women's Network; Roshan Selan, the female candidate who received the largest percentage of the popular vote in the Loya  Jerga (Lower House) of the transitional government; and Jamileh Mojahid, secretary of the Loya Jerga and head of Afghan Women's Radio. I also interviewed Kabul University professors and Afghan international staff of the UN. The documentary was produced to provide vital information to policy-makers, researchers and political activists.
