Afghanistan: The Wounded Land

Afghanistan: The Wounded Land

In the 1960s, Afghanistan opened to the world but was at a crossroads. And when communists seized power, a never-ending war began. The four-part series looks at six decades of Afghan history through the eyes of those who were there, opening new perspectives into the country, people and destiny. The documentary also grants insight into what went wrong in the past and what future is being hoped for.
