What FACTLY found

The video is taken from a feature film ‘Abhara’ (uploaded to YouTube on 29 December 2017), also known as ‘Taliban’, that depicts the violence and crimes of the dark period of the Taliban. Panjshir province in Afghanistan, which was the last hold out against Taliban, was overrun by the Taliban earlier and is being run brutally ever since, imposing a blockade in Panjshir, denying residents food, and carrying out extrajudicial killings
