SHADOW OF AFGHANISTAN

Told from the perspective of independent filmmakers, journalists, and an Afghan warrior, 20 years of footage reveal the stories of the exile of millions of war-torn refugees, a violent civil war, the Taliban’s alliance with al-Qaeda, and the invasion by U.S. forces. Additional footage from the 1950s and ’60s illustrates life in Afghanistan before the Soviet occupation. Note: violent images. Directed by Jim Bourroughs.
