AFGHANISTAN, GRAVEYARD OF EMPIRES

Director(s): - Various - Divers   Contact Contact

Afghanistan’s nickname, ‘The Graveyard of Empires’, is as pertinent today as it has ever been...
After Genghis Khan, Alexander the Great, the British Empire and the USSR, the USA and the international coalition have also discovered this to be true.
In three productions, we look at the history of the two recent wars in Afghanistan, the Soviet invasion of 1979 and the war after 9/11, and - twenty years after 9/11, the efforts to achieve a peace agreement.
How has Afghanistan, this land-locked enclave, devoid of oil reserves and trapped between Russia, China and Iran, become a key square on the global chequerboard?

Click on each title hereunder to check out the three films ("The Price of Peace" is currently in production):
