[000:00:00;00] the leg each good. what's magical in this place to me personally is that you exist within one dimension for the world around the time with the rhythm of all the people who are close friends relative to different less weight. because if you're in one dimension with nick, you know, time one could look at how we lived on the right or wrong on deal with

a use constant rosco reporting for our teeth from the north pole. oh, the me the i

the drug started as a way to come back, a great problem. what's the one? it's part of the attitude of the nation, not just of north dakota, and it got to be something that you could get elected. this time, the fight against drugs still good. tragic. told us that andrew was competing short form. this is way too dangerous for him to be doing. clearly they put him in harm's way. a rural college student does interest get shot in the head and found in a river like that. something else had to be happening with

the the we went to have gun has done twice in the last 6 months to record this footage of many people warned us that filming the opium crop being eradicated, just wasn't realistic. and that our chances of finding villages willing to show us their crops when next to 0. they said we'd never be able to find out who's backing the drug trafficking business in a country that had a nato military presence for 14 years. that's what they said, that it wasn't easy,

but we did manage to achieve our objective. my check stub for us in 2009, it was our team, but shot a documentary commemorating the 20th anniversary of soviet troops withdrawing from afghanistan this time. but it was, we flew in local people warned us that a lot has changed in the country and not always for the better.

o the last and a series of operations to eradicate the opium cropping up gas done was a failure. the money just got to spend on the presidential campaign countries budget ran dry. investigative reporting is a serious challenge. you're expected to oil, the wheels a little by paying back sheesh before you can film anything new just bought the new students who are moving to the driver and translator us save today. they're not going to go back

to this. is there any day? i mean, it's one of these young and young. okay. sure. but let me pull it up. would it be come on june, but if you will see me, most of the guys that are supposed to come on the police, which basically means burned. money has become a local attraction. we're always traffic gems here and pedestrian stop by just to stand on top of the bridge. and look at the denizens beneath. we were told that anything like this would have been unsinkable when the soviet union was here, or even under the taliban. ah, we had to pay a private gun to make sure we could fill me safely.

ah, get to get us some neighbor, john john coleman. i don't mind they won't know to touch anything beneath the bridge. under any circumstances. it's very easy to get infected here. most of the drug use as a terminal. yeah. the my local standards, we enjoyed a warm welcome. just the day before, and i've got a colleague, lin smashed, and he took a few punches off the under the bridge, a heroine fixed cost $6.00. that was how much one local user asked for. he called himself saying it all in here. they have a problem in this get all

of those have any job job. so i had agreed to appear on camera in return for money. he volunteered to show us how he shoots up drugs, but we refused. and instead of him and alternative suggestion was working with you, but we will get it booked. that he does not the job done that unless there are several state sponsored drug rehabilitation hospitals and couple we're planning to visit one to find out if they're able to admit the patient from the street. or if it's a time consuming process that involves tons of paperwork,

if it was us up again, it was more of a despite having proper accreditation, we were soon detained by the state security service. we were accused of filming classified subjects and possibly for working to the extremists. specifically the taliban. no. more than we thought most love for the main camera was confiscated, but luckily they didn't see the 2nd. we're going to talk about that. it's going to get us in

a moment. in the end, we weren't taken to a police station and we refuse to pay back sage. we were forced to delete the material. we filmed on the main camera and then they let us go. now i had no lucky time ago. i didn't look back either. come interview them or not, but they don't go. what is the cause? luckily, that was our only brush with the law. as we later discovered, one of the police generals, remember the words short of it very well. that means soviet, the police immediately let us go with them on a raid. the make it to another your 100. what is the phone ship? someone sent a couple of meters, could please please,

can you please give me a call. i don't know. and i don't i don't know what to do to get a new jewel happening to call you normal love to drive out of the room last year. i did want to don't know more than happy to do some of you got did issue me all of them by dollars. well, you know, you're going to be the government tag or you're probably going to place in it. and we're pretty sure

that the police are well aware of all the places where locals combined drugs. most of the time they're sold from inside, expensive houses secured behind high walls. no one can get in without a warrant. but the minute word gets out that a rate has been planned, information seep through, to the drug dealers themselves, making it impossible to catch them read and it does not want to bring in my guess issue with them with the media, you know, whiskey i'm not going to like you to be that are the same,

you put up when you purchase gifts of move. well, this will be nice to, to be submitted to the all of the uses arrested during the re was soon released by local standards. they didn't possess a big enough quantity to justify a jail term. the police say there are about 700000 people like them in the city. that's almost 18 sense of couple of population. the most of the big fish and wait for the police in town. but at the checkpoint on the road into the city, the police call it the gates to couple. they have their own procedures and hardly ever used

a special equipment that was purchased recently with us money. then laura customs to the old school methods looking for stashes in the more unlikely locations. and following their instincts. one of the most surprising weapons against drugs we found was what they call the veracity test. they presume that are real help, it's hard, we'll give them away. you simply lay your hand on the suspects chest and feel his pulse. we were a little skeptical at 1st enough moments later the officers did find

a stash of sheesh in his shoes. off the in a little over in that same veracity to us through a shadow of a one man who driven his car to couple from july about in the east of the country. i got the wrong one or more classes today, so she'll be out of pocket in the other. she's about to sell it for something because i'm without a chance to them with that promotion. was that sort of the the was making it because this is a commonly used trick for trafficking drugs. the game show that the tank was full, but there was actually no gas at all in its place. a 21 kilos. tasha will be in bobbies. that has by no means a large quantity by today's standards. a staggering 50 tons of opium and heroine

confiscated at this checkpoint alone each year. hefty prices are put on the heads of the most zealous police officers. i found my way to shaft miller definition to get charged for us on the sea of others and above the supposed to tell on the the why as being on your mind indeed and gives up against them with a great decision over the last 30 years. it, it was the 1st decision which did not follow the course of the events in history. why it was an attempt to change the course. and the biggest

task on the steepness is to contradict history, is to change the historical part from the national 4 important, what actually job, why didn't do the i the next morning and web back to police the place where drug use his get together. this time were accompanied by the doctors who have agreed to admit site, yet to the hospital. not coming up. we still need to do what he was

saying. it was nowhere to be found. his phone number was blocked and the when no police to god at this time we were just about ready to leave empty handed. when 5 minutes later, sired reappeared out of the blue about this time he wasn't happy to see as accompanied by doctors. when he learned that the treatment would take almost one and a half months. he tried to back out to find the waterloo, live on the one. if it says this morning, they got my phone and i don't care for them. well, i will do that. move on, formula must do net design in my college for them. after

10 minutes of convincing, we finally told celia into going out without getting help with that idea. your demo of muscle cold over 200 patients from around afghanistan, a currently undergoing treatment in this hospital. it's considered to be one of the best in couple a strip search is conducted before people are allowed in. the was a time when de la disguised his visitors came to smuggle drugs into the facility on

a case that robert took it to the body alone . and on monday with him in 10 minutes later we barely recognised sight he'd been required to part company with his hair. that's compulsory for anyone who's admitted to the hospital. because the 1st 15 days of treatment of the toughest. he'll be in quarantine because this is when patients go through what's called heroine, withdraw him

on the focus with him because one of the others actually more money in your profession. space for medi medi demario laxity. workshop. michelle formulation, right. so that he might look on as i mean it got about a child who made the move on to any of the water in the show. now i'm sure that everything's going to be handled. my question should because that's what you're going to come up get. but you can move, this is move in with you pretty sure it was with we're putting it doesn't give you

that sheet. if you can do that, you will have to do that. yeah, the me i the following morning we've agreed to meet a fellow citizen for several years, russia as being sharing satellite data with afghan has done about the whereabouts of undercover hello and of arteries within its borders. there was an operation recently to destroy an illegal, a heroine lab. they promised that we'd be able to see the police footage pretty of

the voting that i see over the next 4 will 0. so which, which killers could keep an eye report for the federal workers present to us. it's always been really, really the well for your records, if you wish that the ones that are linked to the distribute on the other. but anyway, my phone was up on the phone from all the minimum ways off the phone for me because the question got the was,

i would say this is what you were looking for. money for me to go to school. i need to get a hold of me to kind of give you what you were still get a and he'll be nipple supply for the food for me to renew last year. and he comes for literally, i mean you got, it didn't get done a local port issue. but it also seems an important question remains. why do international forces that afford taliban radicals? enough chemist on for more than 14 years continually overlook their main source of income. namely, drugs, we wanted to arrange a meeting with a former field commander who started to fight the taliban even before the nato military arrived in the country. none of the men of the house, aided by a relative who act his interpreter,

shows us pictures of his former fellow soldiers. each one has died a mysterious death in recent years. as almost all morning told me he will be late and because you will be the total be we need to because this is much new. somebody to stick the would it be lets you see it because it just says in the eighty's field commander had to come, fought alongside the merger hardee him against the soviet forces. years later, he even treats his former enemies with respect. unlike his current ones, we went with one state to what? another hi and how did it and all who i'm john got us on, on a moment for me. all of you call by the radio on a bit slow and, and how did i put it? i mean,

you've got to make and i will and she will be able to get a job will don't show on a check. i'm in the college of a john, you've been them off your chicken and when you go on general, how to comes advice. we drove out to a couple of summer where we tried to find people who actually witness nato soldiers working with the taliban. i'll be talking to you what it would be that is usually a uniform dental and vision. it wasn't a complete state. could you go to the jewish been there when you push revision to the couple? what's the complex and there were several dozen families survived. the nato air strikes, the crowd were bombing the taliban, that had ordinary working people's homes. even though everything was documented,

several years later, these people have still been unable to secure any compensation data sheet down. and she was, she was gonna try to send it over. you could go, you know, let them know what was going to be bad. there was once an american military base close to where these people used to live. they could see puppy fields flowering in the distance. but even though the crop was there, close to a nato bass. no one seemed to be to bobby. i'm just, what i could. that was what you meant was ellen's up. how about angelica, via judy from curly did auditor both of a. so my, me, the jealous of the list that was done, the, what the, what you does i get, you know, that you deal with john,

you just solve the moment i got i do set out to you the hardest thing for anyone visiting. i've got to figure out these days is where the $7000000000.00 that the us allocated the combating f gun heroin has gone since 2001 if what we saw in central cabal today is the pinnacle of the anti drug campaign. and it's very clear why the overall acreage of poppy fields in the country continues to grow each year. just as we were about to finish filling the anti drug wall or phone rang, it was sired later. the man we'd help get into a drug rehabilitation program. the previous thing, yes. little the waiting for you. nobody evidence of the brother no shows when you go to columbus firm,

if we're moving kind of this is our 3rd time visiting police, so it's workable as drug users get together. say it had said he didn't want us to interview him this time he'd run away from rehab. and the only thing he was asking for now was money. presumably to pay for him to get home. we had to be honest and face by plan to help. so i get treatment for his addiction, had simply ended in failure. he returned to where he'd come from and rejoined his

old buddies. ah ah, the in the story that shape the way the us in it's 20 year a military campaign in afghanistan leaving the country in the same terrorist group . the vows to defeat a generation ago, the american forces ravaged capital international airport, their final refuge for the helicopters. and there are a lot of them the band in the was have been cars,
