Inside America’s Longest War: What Went Wrong in Afghanistan?

This documentary takes a long view of Afghanistan's decades of conflict, from the Soviet invasion through the rise of the Taliban to the years of American intervention. It traces how war, foreign powers and internal divisions repeatedly reshaped the country and its people. Rather than a single battle, it examines what went wrong across a generation of fighting. Comprehensive and clear-eyed, it helps make sense of America's longest war and its uncertain legacy. Free to watch in HD on Dr Documentary.
