Afghanistan: The Wounded Land - Part 3: Taliban -
doc world

Fighting within Afghanistan continued, turning into a civil war. The Taliban then emerged and triumphed - the country became a lab for a new type of Islamic state and the training ground for Osama Bin Laden's terrorist network. Narrated by author Khaled Hosseini (The Kite Runner), AFGHANISTAN: THE WOUNDED LAND looks at six decades of Afghan history through the eyes of warriors and civilians, men and women. Their memories of the Golden Age, Soviet occupation, Taliban regime, and 9/11 open new perspectives into the once peaceful Afghanistan, its people and its destiny. The four-part documentary grants new insight into what went tragically wrong in the past...and what future is being hoped for.
