Afghanistan: The War Comes Home

1 x 49 HD
Broadcaster:  CNA

This insightful documentary looks at the rise of the far-right in the US and the unanticipated connection between the war in Afghanistan and unrest in the USA among the 800,000 ‘War on Terror’ veterans and civilians.

 

The withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan, one of the longest overseas wars, left Afghanistan in chaos. The impact of the withdrawal, however, was also felt strongly in the heart of America. According to the FBI, Afghanistan war veterans joining white militias has become the biggest threat facing the US today.

 

Through on-the-ground footage from Afghanistan and exclusive interviews with US military veterans, we learn how America’s radicalised veterans are bringing the war back home.
