The first film of its kind, THE AFGHAN SOLUTION, is the story of a people left behind by thei r newly minted government. Examining the history behind the current confli ct in Afghanistan, it exposes the results of broken commitments and ever c hanging military strategies. It is a powerful and informative warning abou t the dangers of imposing a centralized authority on a complex and multi-e thnic nation. This film is a wake-up call: Afghanistan can either move tow ard a true democracy or once again fall into the clutches of the cruelest tyranny in its history, the Taliban and al Qaeda.
& nbsp\;
Told from the streets of Kabul, the mountain s of the northern tribal regions, and halls of Congress, THE AF GHAN SOLUTION is the only film to investigate the conflict by talking to the people who have lived it. It is a story told by Afghan pol iticians, citizens, warlords, and tribal leaders, as well as American Spec ial Forces, NATO'\;s ISAF brass, UN Mediators, and NGO personnel. This candid account of a fragile nation building experiment is essential viewin g for everyone - from students and scholars to policy makers, veterans, an d American voters.

A fghanistan is at once strategic and largely misunderstood. \; That mis understanding has proven to be expensive in terms of blood and treasure.&n bsp\; Before taking another voted on funding or troop levels, every Member of Congress should be required to watch this documentary.
