Who are boys raised to be in Taliban’s Afghanistan?

Through atmospheric clips from Kabul, ‘Kabul Between Prayers’ shows us the everyday life of Afghan brothers, where the expectation is that boys will join the Taliban. In this introduction, Nagieb Khaja draws on more than a decade of journalistic work in Afghanistan. He has met and spoken with members of the Taliban in various contexts and has himself been detained by the movement. Based on his own work, Khaja explains what extremism represents in Afghanistan.
