Escape from the Taliban: Point of no return
Sana Safi re-joins two Afghan women judges and their desperate efforts to escape from the Taliban.
Sana Safi returns to the story of two Afghan women judges who have had to go into hiding after the Taliban takeover - and are now preparing to be evacuated for a second time.
Through encrypted networks and messages, Sana gets unprecedented access to the secretive operatives trying to get the women and their families out of the country.
It is a race against time as they now journey to the point of no return.
