In the ’60s, the king opened Afghanistan to the world. But the country was profoundly divided between the westernized elite and the traditional, poor majority. When communists seized power in 1978, a never-ending war began.
AFGHANISTAN: THE WOUNDED LAND: Narrated by The Kite Runner author Khaled Hosseini, the series 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.
