Downstream: The Journalist Who Spent A Year With The Taliban w/ Ibrahim Nash’at
Description
When the Taliban retook all of Afghanistan in 2021, it came as a shock to much of the West. The day after the last American soldier left, journalist and filmmaker Ibrahim Nash’at flew into Kabul to spend a year filming with their senior military leadership. What he found was a Taliban drunk on power, in control of far more territory and with better weaponry than ever – courtesy of the Americans, who left it all behind.
Ibrahim joins Ash to talk about the making of Hollywoodgate, which is currently available to watch in the UK on BBC iPlayer as part of the Storyville series.
