the we went to get this done twice in the last 6 months to record this footage. 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 chair. so i did this in

2009. it was our team, but shorter 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. and it does look like

the last and a series of operations to eradicate the opium cropping up canister was a failure. the money just got to spend on the presidential campaign. the country's budget around dry investigative reporting is a serious challenge. you're expected to oil, the wheels a little by paying buck sheesh before you can film anything. the bottom of the movie, the whole lot, i think a little driver and translator us save today. they're not going to go back to this anytime you one of these young and young. okay. to show you that but let me pull it

up. would it be, come on, june, but you will see many more to deal with cars that are supposed to come on at the police, which basically means burned. money has become a local attraction for 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 my neighbor, john, don't come out on my the they want us not 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'm going to colleague how do you live smashed, and he took a few punches off the under the bridge, a heroine fixed cost 6 dollars. that was how much one local user asked for. he called himself sonya all in here. they have a problem in this, you know, all of those have no compassion, job job. so i had agreed to appear on camera in return some money.

he volunteered to show us how he shoots up drugs, but we refuse that and instead offered him an alternative suggestion. if i'm working with you, but we will get it booked, that he does not the job done that. 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 a patient from the street. or if it's a time consuming process that involves tons of paper work, people's opinion. anybody else 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 for the extremists, specifically the taliban. no. more than we thought most love for their main camera was confiscated, but luckily they didn't see the 2nd way to get a hold of those local minimum upon the result, even more money 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, been filmed on the main camera,

and then they let us go. now i had no luck. you sent me go, i didn't look back either. come interview them or not, but they don't go. that is, what is, what is the was luckily that was only brush with the law as we later discovered, one of the police generals, remember, the word should have been very well. that means soviet, the police immediately let us go with them on a raid. the make another one, like what is the phone ship? someone sent a couple of me it's, it's not a complete the commit. put it in it, which is not a good that puts me i

don't know. and i don't, i don't know what to do to get a new jewel. well, you know, a lot of good to have one of the last few or did you want, i don't know more than happy to do it from what you got did is your most of them by going well, you know, you're going to be on the tag or you're probably going to place in it, and then you were 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. red ended november, there was no that was coming up, but i wanted to bring in my guess issue with him with my switch media. but if you could get another good one to be the senior, could i put a couple of when you purchase gifts or know what needs to be submitted to go 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 percent of couple of population. the most of the big fish don't 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 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 when he was in a little over and in that same veracity to us through a shadow of a one man who driven his car to couple from july,

back in the east of the country. i don't want to be out of pocket enough. others as well as my father cell phone because i'm with other chances of them with that promotion was that shouldn't be so much that was making it because this is a commonly used trig for trafficking drugs. the game show that the tank was full, but there was actually no gas at all. in its place. a 21 kilo stash of opium puppies. that is 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. he said it was the one us on the voters and above the other supposed to tell on the the why as being on your mind indeed gets 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 strip is to contradict history, is to change the historical part from the national for importance. and what actually,

why didn't do the ah, the civic leg around the world expedition 5000 miles round the clock and get this done as soon as we know every country close by the crew. gavin's food and water harbor to go to church north also look, i'm literally saying it's got everybody locked down or almost no food and no water

that only give them up. sure. somebody stuck a fish in the cove. if you're living like the theme and of own, but in the 21st century, the the in the i the next morning and we'll back to police to the place where drug use his get together . this time were accompanied by the doctors who agreed to admit site yet to the hospital. not coming up. we still pretty nice. if

you don't watch it, you would say it was nowhere to be found. his phone number was blocked and the when no police to guard 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 and live on the bottom one. if it says a little more, they got my foot and stuff. i don't care for them. the general, i will do that,

move on formula to net design in my college for them. after 10 minutes of convincing, we finally told celia into going out without getting a job the demo of my phone call that is over 200 patients from around afghanistan are 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 as visitors, came to smuggle drugs into the facility on a case that the body can, you know, keep multiple. and on monday with him on my computer like 10 minutes later we barely recognized he'd been required to part company with his hair. that's compulsory for anyone who's admitted to the hospital. the 1st 15 days of treatment or 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 other question, actually more money in your discussion space for medi medi demario laxity works up michelle formulation. right. so that might have going on, as i mean it got about a child who made up really move on to any of the water in the show over the same time you have everything to be my question. sure, because that's what you come up with, but you can move. this is move in with you. please speak with him with putting it

doesn't match it. if he can do that, you will have to do that with me. i just 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 3 of them

voted in that i can calculate that for you. so which one to which the quote you could give them. unless i refer to when you're well federal workers because there's one in the world that the well for your records, you have no idea when you need to or the distributor. but anyway, i'm a buddy of from 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 confirm a family go to school. i need to get a hold of me to ask if you would, you still get a and it will be nichol supplies on the page for me to renew it and then it comes for literally i need to go with it. then i woke up with the district, but it also seems an important question remains. why do international forces that afford taliban radicals in afghan was done for more than 14 years, continually overlook their main source of income, namely and 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 as pictures of his former fellow soldiers . each one has died a mysterious death in recent years, as almost as little told and 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 soviet forces. years later, he even treats his former enemies with respect. unlike his current ones. well, we went with one state to do what it on number high and how did it and all who i'm

and john got orders on, on the move. it will make all of you call, but just put it on a bit slow and, and how did i put it on the academic? and i wanted me to look at your bills on i was just shown kind of in the college of a john, burn them off your microphone. 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 witnessed nato soldiers working with the taliban. i'll be talking to you. what it is. it will vision using a uniform dental and vision. it was a, took a pre paid co pay today. she's been there. oh dear. when you push revision to the couple issues, what's more complex and there were several

dozen families survived. the nato air strikes viagra to a 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 about she was, she was gonna try to younger you could, if you were to almost there was once in american military base as to where these people used to live, they can see puppy fields flowering in the distance. but even though the crop was there, close to a nato base, no one seemed to be to bob, and i'm to kind what i could. that was what you meant was ellen's up. how about angelica, the, the 2nd curly did auditor for the other day. so my,

my jealous of the look to see that the, what the, what you does that you know, that you deal with, john, you will, you solve the mind, me out to jot you thought out to you. the hardest things that anyone visiting afghanistan to figure out these days is where the $7000000000.00 that the us allocated that combating afghan 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 cya later, the man we'd help get into a drug rehabilitation program the previous day. yes. literally waiting for you. nobody evidence of the brother no

show. when you go to columbus firm, which mooney kind of this is our 3rd time visiting police. so it's one of those 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 faith planned helps i get treatment for his addiction, had simply ended in failure. he returned to where he'd come from and we joined his old buddies. mm mm

mm ah, welcome to maximize or financial survival guide. looking forward to your best video . this is what happened is the benches in britain. still at the top of you watch kaiser report. the, the news only one main thing is important, not as an internationally speaking that is

a nation's but that's allowed to do anything, all the master races. and then you have the mind, nations who are the slave, the americans, rock, obama and others have had a concept of american exceptionalism. international law exist as long as it serves the american interest. if it doesn't, it doesn't exist by turning those russians enter this dangerous go. you man, that wants to take on the world. that was a conscious strategy. so i'm going to noon i english g i, b, i not leashed off in one and tablet block nato. it's our we move east. the reason us had jimmy is a dangerous is the lie. the sovereignty of the countries, the exceptionalism that america uses and its international war planning is one of the greatest threats to the populations of different nations. if nato were disbanded,

shareholders in the united states and elsewhere in large companies would lose millions and millions or is business and businesses good. and that is the reality of what we're facing, which is fashion. the stories that shaped the week to us and this 20 year military campaign in afghanistan leaving the country in the hands of the same to restrain de van to defeat a generation ago. as a parting act, retreated, american port, destroy equipment. all the helicopters and there are a lot of them that were abandoned the was, have been caught various various electrical blocks, remove the welding a returns of power the taliban and it's a.
