LIVEDoc World - Afghanistan: The Wounded Land - Part 2: Jihad
When the Soviets invaded Afghanistan in '79, the country turned into a battlefield between Islam and Communism - even foreign fighters like Osama Bin Laden joined in. A decade later, the Mujahideen pushed the occupation back. 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.
