BBC Pakistan and Afghanistan Correspondent Secunder Kermani travels across Afghanistan, starting at the town of Sangin, where more British soldiers were killed than any other, and then to Helmand, and Kandahar to investigate what life is now like for residents.
Secunder speaks to the Taliban Deputy Governor of Kandahar and those living under Taliban control. But as those who criticise the Taliban face arrest, or worse - does the fear remain?
Many are asking has the Taliban changed since they were last in power? But can the real change be seen in Afghanistan's society?
Newsnight is the BBC's flagship news and current affairs TV programme - with analysis, debate, exclusives, and robust interviews.
