A prominent Afghan filmmaker recorded her dramatic escape from Kabul as Taliban forces moved in Sunday - and pleaded on social media, saying the militants were "coming to kill us."
“The Taliban unfortunately entered Kabul, and we were arrested,” Sahraa Karimi said in an Instagram video posted Sunday. “Pray for us.”
The terrifying footage shows Karimi, the director general of Afghanistan's state-run film, running through the streets of Kabul as Taliban forces take the city - fear on her face.
Karimi also took to Twitter to ask for help.
“Taliban have surrounded Kabul,”, she wrote. “I went to the bank to get money, they closed and evacuated. I still can't believe this happened.
“Please pray for us, I'll call again,” Karimi said. “Hey, people of this big world, please don't be silent. They are coming to kill us.”

Renowned Afghan filmmaker Sahraa Karimi made a desperate plea for help Sunday as the Taliban entered Kabul, posting on Twitter, “They are coming to kill us.”
Taliban forces moved quickly through Afghanistan, capturing the capital Sunday after U.S. troops were withdrawn by President Biden following a protracted, 20-year war.
U.S. Embassy officials warned U.S. citizens to “protect themselves,” while most embassy staff huddled at Kabul's airport — where security began to crumble Sunday.
Meanwhile, Afghan President Ashraf Ghani fled the country as the Taliban closed in.
“Taliban have surrounded Kabul,” Sahraa Karimi tweeted.
“The sky of Kabul, which was silent in the evening at night,” tweeted Kamiri, “and the summer evening breeze forced you to open the window and leave your face in the cool breeze of living, is now full of sounds of helicopters, fighter planes.
“This is the side of gunfire that breaks people's hearts,” she added. “We are sold.”
