An Tir Fo Leon: Rioghachd
In the 1960s, Afghanistan was divided between a westernised elite and a traditional, largely poor majority. A communist revolution shook up this order.
'Afghanistan. The Wounded Land' looks at six decades of Afghan history through the eyes of those who were there: warriors and civilians, men and women. Their personal memories of the golden era, the Soviet occupation, the civil war, the Taliban regime, of 9/11 and its aftermath open new perspectives onto Afghanistan, its people and its destiny. These stories are reflected in an unparalleled selection of archive footage, unearthed in Afghanistan, Russia and the Arab world. These films present a new insight into what went tragically wrong in the past - and what future is being hoped for.
The series begins when Afghanistan was at peace, and the king opened the country to the world. At that time, Kabul looked like a European capital; the best hotels hosted beauty contests and fashion shows. It was a destination for hippies in search of cheap drugs and exotic adventures. But not everybody was comfortable with these changes. The nation was profoundly divided between a westernised elite and the majority of the population, which remained illiterate and poor.
