CBC's The National previewed a bit of freelance journalist Julian Sher's documentary Sunday -- Afghanistan: Between Hope and Fear.

The parts highlighted tonight are alarming, showing evidence of a Taliban parallel government (not strictly news; the Senlis Council talked about this some time ago). You can see Taliban checkpoints operating, Taliban collecting taxes and operating sharia courts.

Sher travelled to Afghanistan, but said much of his footage came from Afghans who were given cameras before they went deep into Kandahar and Helmand provinces.

Looks like it will be worth checking out.
