Following bin Laden (2011x13)

Data de estreia: Mai 09, 2011

In the weeks before the death of Osama bin Laden senior US officials claimed that Al Qaeda in Afghanistan had been all but eliminated. Now a courageous Afghan journalist embeds himself with a unit of fighters swearing allegiance to Osama bin Laden. While spending time with them he tries to see if Al Qaeda is making a comeback to the battlefield, how many fighters there are and who is supplying them with weapons and equipment. His name is Najibullah Quraishi. He is the journalist who eighteen months ago told the world what it was like to live with the Taliban in Afghanistan. The documentary was called "Behind Enemy Lines". Back in the capital of Afghanistan, Quraishi began to hear rumours that Al Qaeda fighters were moving back into the country preparing for what might be called "the fighting season". If this is true it will be information that would be of great concern to the West. Having made inquiries Quraishi is told by a source that it might be possible to film behind enemy lines with a band of Al Qaeda fighters.
