The Afghan chadri typically covers the wearers' entire face leaving only a small net-like opening for the eyes. Prior to the rise of the Taliban, the chadri was rarely seen in major Afghan cities, and is more commonly seen along the North Western part of Pakistan that borders Afghanistan. While filming Afghanistan Unveiled, the women often remarked on the use of the chadri in the Afghan countryside, whereas in Kabul they were not used to wearing or seeing it worn in public.
