Graveyard of Empires - Afghanistan a Failed Nation Experiment?

This documentary examines why Afghanistan has been called the graveyard of empires, tracing the long history of foreign intervention and failed nation-building. It looks at the American-led war, the Taliban's endurance and the deep gap between military power and lasting change. The film weaves history, politics and human cost to explain how outsiders repeatedly stumbled in this difficult land. Ambitious and sobering, it offers context often missing from the news.
