The return to Afghanistan after 20 years reveals a country where the threat of a small band of terrorists has been replaced by the looming shadow of major global powers armed with nuclear weapons. This is the "Great Game" being played out on the dusty streets of Kabul, a city where chaos reigns, and power is brutally enforced. We drive to the front lines just outside the city, where Afghan soldiers are barely holding onto small outposts against the Taliban. We witness firsthand how war is now a permanent part of daily life, intensified by devastating attacks on civilians. We were on the ground immediately after a suicide bomber targeted a girls' school, killing dozens of innocent students, and had to escape quickly as an angry crowd turned on us, believing Americans were behind the violence. The documentary confronts the complicated legacy of the $2.5 trillion US expenditure, exploring the rampant corruption, the pain of civilian casualties from drone strikes, and the widespread feeling among Afghans that they've been abandoned. From a restaurant owner who optimistically prepares for a Taliban future to young people who fear a coming "big catastrophe," this is the real, raw story of a nation caught between its own endless conflict and the world's most dangerous geopolitical struggle.
