After the 9/11 attacks, the U.S. invaded Afghanistan. Their goal was to eliminate Al-Qaeda’s leaders and overthrow the Taliban. The enormous cost of the war, and the losses that Afghans bore and continue to bear are truly horrific. Innocent people were tortured, whole villages destroyed and many lives ruined during this military conflict. The documentary follows the story of Haji Ghalib, an Afghan ex-chief of police, who spent 5 years in an American prison for alleged links with the Taliban. He was eventually found innocent, and returned to Afghanistan. As soon as Haji Ghalib was back, he continued to fight the Taliban.
