Swat Valley, Pakistan, a beautiful area of land that was once a tourist destination, was taken by the Taliban in December. Since then, they’ve instituted Sharia law and have banned the education of women (destroying schools and killing people in the process). With that as the backdrop, this New York Times video profiles a schoolgirl and her father, who runs a school for girls. It’s worth watching, and is rather terrifying. (Warning: contains a decapitated corpse at one point.) I fear for what will happen to that family.
