Miller then formed a professional association with television reporter Saira Shah, to make "Beneath the Veil", about the life of women in Taliban-run Afghanistan. This film, shown on "Dispatches" and CNN, repeated the success of "Prime Suspects" by again winning the RTS International Current Affairs award. It also won an Emmy Award, a BAFTA, and the RTS "Programme of the Year" award. In addition, Miller won the RTS craft award for his outstanding photography. Miller and Shah's second film, "Unholy War", shot at the height of the Afghanistan war in 2001, won Miller his first Emmy as director and (together with "Beneath the Veil") also the prestigious Peabody award. Miller and Shah almost died of sub-zero temperatures while crossing the Hindu Kush during the making of this film. Frostbite Films was the name of the independent film production company set up by Miller and Shah in 2001 after this experience.
