On August 15, the Taliban took over the Afghan capital of Kabul, entered the presidential palace, and declared an end to the 20-year war. But before that declaration, as the armed group rapidly advanced throughout the country, we spoke with Pashtana Durrani.

She's an Afghan activist who was witnessing it all first-hand. In this episode of The Take, we hear her story.
