A new documentary shows the rise of the Taliban after the US withdrawal.
The documentary “Hollywood Gate: A Year Under Taliban Rule” has just been released in Hamburg cinemas.
The film looks at events after the US withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021 and focuses on the Taliban’s entry into a US base in Kabul that was previously used as a secret CIA outpost.
The documentary follows the developments at the Hollywood Gate base over the course of a year, showing how the Taliban, using leftover weapons and equipment, formed a new combat unit and rapidly increased their power.
The film provides a detailed picture of the Taliban’s internal command center and shows the process of transforming this extremist militant group into a powerful military regime.
By presenting unprecedented documents and images, the documentary director has been able to provide a fresh look at the rapid rise of the Taliban and the consequences of the hasty withdrawal of American forces in Afghanistan.
The film’s release in international cinemas has attracted the attention of the media and those interested in security and historical issues in Afghanistan.
