As he drives through the streets of Afghanistan, Paul Workman describes a range of emotions from being back in the country he last travelled to more than a decade ago.
"Well, it is really strange to be back here. I left under pretty traumatic conditions last time I was here in 2008," he said.

"I hope viewers will come away with a sense of just how desperate and dire life is in Afghanistan today. Especially for girls and women who suffer the greatest abuse," he said.
"The story I tell in this special, the despair I witnessed is their story."
