Twenty years after the U.S. vowed to bring ‘freedom and democracy’ to Afghanistan, a chilling new documentary by CGTN reveals the stark reality left behind. Titled 'Afghanistan, Victim of U.S. Failure', the film unpacks how decades of intervention spiraled into chaos—a story every global citizen needs to hear. 🎥🔥
From Promise to Ruin
In 2001, former U.S. President George W. Bush framed the invasion as a mission to rebuild Afghanistan. Fast-forward to 2021: the hurried troop withdrawal left cities in turmoil, families displaced, and poverty rates skyrocketing. According to the documentary, locals now ask: 'Was this democracy or destruction?' 💔
The Human Cost
Through Afghan voices, the film critiques the U.S.’s 'nation-building' efforts, arguing that infrastructure projects and reforms often ignored local culture. One resident laments, 'They promised schools but left us with ruins.' Over 70% of Afghans now live below the poverty line—a grim legacy. 📉
Why It Matters for Gen-Z
This isn’t just history—it’s a cautionary tale. As global tensions rise, the doc urges young audiences to question foreign policies masked as 'liberation.' Whether you’re a student, traveler, or activist, Afghanistan’s story is a wake-up call. 🌐✨
