Since the Holocaust, Germany has worked to overcome its Nazi history. But over the past decade, Germany has faced a rising wave of far-right violence and plots against Jews, Muslims, immigrants and politicians. Amid accusations that the far-right Alternative für Deutschland party (AfD) has provoked violence, which it denies, filmmaker Evan Williams investigates the rise of far-right extremism in modern-day Germany.

On August 15, 2021, the Taliban take over power in Afghanistan, two weeks later the last US Air Force plane leaves Kabul. The military evacuation is over. But there are still tens of thousands of people in the country who need an airlift because their lives are in danger as local workers, media professionals, artists or human rights activists. Many of them are hoping for Kabul Luftbrücke (Eng: Airlift) - a small NGO in Berlin founded by a handful of journalists and activists. They decide to evacuate people on their own initiative.
The series documents how former local forces manage to leave the country, how children who were separated from their parents during the flight hope to be reunited and how young women decide to no longer bow to the Taliban's rules.

Frozan and her family were evacuated from Afghanistan to Pakistan in November 2021 by the German organization Kabul Luftbrücke. Forced to leave behind the life they had known, they arrived in Islamabad. In the Pakistani capital, I had the opportunity to meet Frozan, a courageous women's rights activist who refused to be silenced by the Taliban’s oppressive rule. After the Taliban took control of Afghanistan and banned girls from receiving an education, she took matters into her own hands. Determined to empower the next generation, she transformed her own home into a secret school, providing young girls with the education they were denied.
