Hello everyone, this is Ross McDonnell, director of Swift Justice, a film about Sharia Law under the Taliban. Thank you for watching. We visited Helmand province in the aftermath of the Taliban takeover to see how the Islamic Sharia Court system was functioning at the village level for Afghans, what their issues were and crucially what role women had in the courts when they came to look for justice. We're here to feedback and answer your questions over the next couple of days. Enjoy the film.

Hard for people to digest but majority of the people used these Tal’iban courts even when they were not in power yet
-
I’m glad the Courts gave the sister her wish to live with her father. Buddy looks like a grease ball. All he wanna do is get high all day
-
they took "justice delayed is justice denied" very seriously, took only 24 hours to a case like that.
-
Blows my mind that someone was able to film this
-
I hope that as a widow she finds somebody she knows for a fact can care for her
-
Can i just say the cinematography here is amazing its like a movie
-
Her brother needs to read the Holy Qur'an, it says you may NOT force a woman into marriage, she MUST accept it too.

A father protecting his daughter
-
Translation mistake at 11:14, She mentions that her husband had 620,000 rupees not 62,000.
-
What?! I think the judges acted most fairly in the woman's case!
-
Dang! That's the fastest swift justice I have ever watch. In just 2 days, in freakin' 2 days.
-
so this is the guy who kick ussr, british and america out of their land
-
That widow should receive a bravery award for speaking fearlessly
-
im so glad that poor girl could stay with her father and was not forced to live with her terrible brother inlaw....looks like the Taliban court looked after the girl in this case.....
-
“If you give a woman freedom, she will do whatever she wants.” Spoken like a true oppressor. Doing whatever you want is the point of being free. Both men and women deserve it.
-
He explained his point, and she did with bravery. Then the judge decided in a day. She decides her fate. Do not bother her anymore. Respect for Afghans. I hope women could study in the future so they participate in rebuilding Afghanistan as the minister said.
-
"these men are vultures" i'm surprised she spoke so powerfully, and glad about it!
-
Very happy with the woman's case....justice is justice

This video is like a time machine going back a thousand year in the past, if not more.
