CNN to screen second Afghanistan doc

By BroadCasting & Cable Staff -- Broadcasting & Cable, 10/25/2001 12:55:00 PM

Cable News Network is airing a second documentary on Afghanistan from a female British journalist.

Unholy War, reported by Saira Shaw, is a follow-up to Beneath the Veil, which explored the plight of Afghani citizens, particularly women, under the ruling Taliban militia.

Following Sept. 11, Shaw slipped into Afghanistan and filmed her latest account focusing on Afghani response to U.S.-led military strikes.

Unholy War gets its American debut on CNN Nov. 17, with an encore on Nov. 18.

Beneath the Veil premiered in August, when it earned a 0.9 rating.

The documentary earned high ratings when it was re-aired on Sept. 22 (2.6 rating) and Sept. 23 (2.2 rating). - Allison Romano
