“In part one , we see just how chaotic and hopeless the situation is in Sangin, one of the most violent towns in Afghanistan.”

“In part two , we see on-the-ground footage of fighting between the Afghan forces and the Taliban as well as insightful commentary from the documentary’s producer, Ben Anderson. There are also exclusive interviews with the US Ambassador and the British Deputy Ambassador to Afghanistan about the prospect of peace in the region.”

“In part three , we see that the sad truth is, at the end of the day, we will be leaving behind ill-prepared security forces, which will likely lead to an increase in Taliban attacks, civilian casualties, and, overall, an increasingly dangerous and fragile nation.”

Based on the work of British journalist Ben Anderson, who also produced Taking On the Taliban , showing his time embedded with the British Armed Forces.
