Abstract:

"In Afghanistan, the Taliban - militant Sunni fundamentalists schooled in Pakistan - have taken over almost all of the country. Will their jihad spread to the Sunni minority of Iran, igniting a rebellion against that country's Shiite government? Or will Iran strike first, through the Shiite minority living in Afghanistan? This compelling report, filmed by the first crew to enter Afghanistan after America's anti-terrorist air-strikes in 1998, takes a first-hand look at both the results and the implications of escalating tensions between Afghanistan and its neighbors."
