In Afghanistan, 9/11 began two days earlier when commander Ahmad Shah Massoud was assassinated. The U.S. reacted by bombing and invading the country. Many Afghans hoped for peace and democracy - expectations would be shattered. 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.
