Etilaat Roz
By Abbas Rezaie
15 August 2021. The Taliban take control of Kabul. The Afghan newspaper "Etilaat Roz" and its 50 employees are seriously affected. Amidst censorship, arrests, attacks, torture and threats against journalists, Editor-in-chief Zaki Daryabi and his team attempt to continue their work. In this documentary filmed during the two months following the Taliban's coming to power and from within the walls of the newspaper's office, Abbas Rezaie offers us a powerful and first-hand account of the collapse of the freedom of the press in Afghanistan.
