She hoped one day to have children. In high school, Aisha had a boyfriend in a neighbouring village whom she hoped to marry.
She said she dreamt of becoming a soldier, an accountant or even a doctor - a secure livelihood in the economically depressed region. Unlike some fathers in the region, she said, hers had made a priority of securing an education for his girls, and he never beat them.

Which is like saying Game of Thrones is a story about an iron chair or Harry Potter is a franchise about a kid with glasses. Produced by the folks behind the also extremely good Wild Wild Country, Untold is a series of feature-length documentaries focused on sports. It's obviously much more than that.
Her story is a terrifying one, expertly and sensitively told by the Untold crew. On Caitlyn Jenner, most famous for her connection to the Kardashians, but once an Olympic gold medalist. And there are profiles. Martin, once the world's most famous female boxer, was a genuinely game-changing athlete, but was also the victim of a savage murder attempt. That episode is decent, but the profile on Christy Martin is perhaps more compelling.
That's why we tend to call out shows like Dark or For All Mankind on Apple TV Plus over established classics like Stranger Things. But the nature of our recommendations at CNET is to choose something audiences might have missed, or something underrated.
Discussing the best show on Netflix, or the best sci-fi series on Prime Video. Over the past year, we've been putting together TV and movie recommendations here at CNET. Most of the time it's fairly easy for us to select our favorites.
And prepare yourself for one of the most unique stories in all of sport. If you're going to watch one episode, I'd suggest this one. Manti Te'o was a superstar college football player, a consensus All-American who was victim to an incredible catfishing scam with so many layers it would be impossible to explain here. The Girlfriend Who Didn't Exist is arguably the best of the bunch.
Lying in the insurgent camp's infirmary, she plotted her escape, intent on saving Fatima from a future of hunger and rape under the militants.
By then, she had been in captivity for more than three years. Aisha took months to recover after the bombing attack.
'The fact that he went for quiet walks with his kids? The fact that he socialized with the other young parents on the street? If that is the standard, we should all fear that our neighbors are killers-in-waiting.'
When someone suggested I select the "best documentary on Netflix" I started sweating. I maintain CNET's list of best documentaries. I watch almost every documentary, be it movie or miniseries, as soon as they're released.
The following day, they told Aisha she
had a vaginal infection. They injected two vials of medicine into
her buttocks, without telling her what it was, and gave her an
assortment of pills, she said.
An hour later, she said, she was in wrenching pain and began bleeding heavily from her vagina.
More than great, actually. It's a series of mini masterpieces each more intriguing than the last. Season 1 is fantastic, but Untold's just-concluded second season comes with an assured confidence to tackle tougher stories, with better, more in-depth reporting. Incredibly, it feels like a show gathering steam. So yes, knowledge point tutoring Untold is great.
There's Crimes and Penalties, which tells the Slap Shot-esque story of the Danbury Trashers, a minor league hockey team run - incredibly - by the 17-year-old son of a waste management mogul connected to the Genovese crime family.
The star wore her platinum flecked brunette tresses in a voluminous half-updo as she prepared to film her scenes as the iconic teapot character - who was famously played by Angela Lansbury in the 1991 animated film.
I'd argue documentaries are the best thing about Netflix, period. There's genre-defining true-crime series like Making a Murderer, Oscar-winning movies like Icarus, incredible nature docos like Our Planet. That's before we even mention viral hits like Tiger King or Drive to Survive.
Untold doesn't just tell a set of sports stories that challenge your expectations of what a sports documentary should be. It tells those stories so effectively you barely need to care about sports to be enraptured. It really is that good.
She wrote to her fans: 'I am unbelievably honoured... and all of the emotions(!!) to announce that I will be joining the cast of #BeautyAndTheBeast30th to play the part of my favourite character - Mrs.
Potts.'
ABC Network tweeted out an announcement for the special as well, writing, 'Ready for an adventure in the great wide? Martin Short, @davidalangrier, @ShaniaTwain, and more will be joining the cast of #BeautyAndTheBeast30th, airing December 15 on ABC!'
