SHADOW OF AFGHANISTAN: 1959 – 2012 This is the epic story of Afghanistan seen through the eyes of an Afghan warrior, independent filmmakers and a small group of independent journalists, two who died covering the story. The filmmakers spent more than 20 years documenting the Soviet occupation, the exile of millions of refugees maimed by Soviet mines, a violent civil war, the fatal alliance of the Taliban with al-Qaeda, the invasion by United States forces and people still determined to survive to this day.

Documentary, by Academy-Award ® nominated filmmakers Jim Burroughs and Suzanne Bauman. In English and Arabic with subtitles| 90 minutes. | www.shadowofafghanistan.com
