Unreported World: Afghanistan: Never Mind The Taliban

Series 1, episode 0

Five years after the fall of the Taliban, Unreported World finds that western intervention has produced a mafia-style state in northern Afghanistan. Reporter Kate Clark and director Tom Porter discover a fractured country and an economy dominated by the drugs trade. Commanders from the old Northern Alliance, some of whom have been accused of human rights abuses, are in positions of power everywhere: in the police, the parliament and controlling districts and provinces.
