When the United States withdrew from its twenty-year “forever war” in Afghanistan, the Taliban retook control of the ravaged country and immediately found an American base loaded with weaponry – a portion of the over $7 billion in U.S. armaments still in the country. Director Ibrahim Nash spends a year in Afghanistan following the Taliban as they take possession of the cache America left behind, and transform from a fundamentalist militia into a heavily armed military regime.
