Director Ibrahim Nash'at spent a year with the Taliban in the wake of the United States withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021. Risking his life, Nash'at is on the ground with the Taliban when they enter an American base loaded with a portion of the roughly $7 billion worth of U.S. armaments left behind. Nash'at tracks Taliban leaders as they attempt to transform from a fundamentalist militia into a modern military regime, employing Hollywood-style propaganda to achieve their goals. This virtual screening will be followed by a recorded Q&amp;A with Director Ibrahim Nash'at and moderated by film journalist&nbsp;Tim Grierson. Please watch to the very end of the credits.
