Exporting The Taliban Revolution
Why are Iranian diplomats worth $100,000 to the Taliban?
In Taliban-controlled Afghanistan, reporters investigate growing tension with Iran within weeks of the murder of 10 diplomats and a journalist in the siege of Mazar-i-Sharif.
An exploration of the complex web of relations between the Taliban, Iran, Pakistan and fundamentalist Islamic groups, this documentary traces the Taliban turning their attention to Iran and fomenting trouble there. The Taliban take reporters to see Iranian hostages: diplomats who were sold to the Taliban as currency in the intensifying struggle between the two great houses of Islam.
