    AFGHANISTAN 1979, THE


    WAR THAT CHANGED THE
    WORLD
    Director(s): Gulya MIRZOEVA
    Writer(s): Gulya MIRZOEVA
    The Soviet troops' intervention in Afghanistan was a pivotal
    event in the history of the 20th century... It launched Bin Laden
    and Al Qaeda.
    Soviet troops entered Afghanistan in 1979. This was the war
    that changed the world. Western countries refer to it as 'The
    Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan'. For the Russians it was an
    operation with a 'limited contingent' of armed forces. Despite
    its "limits", the war lasted ten years and played a key role in
    the collapse of the Soviet Union. It would be the final conflict of
    the Cold War, and the first in a long war that is far from over.
    Reflecting on this particular chapter in contemporary history,
    we deliberately focus on events from the side of the 'invading'
    Soviets. Thanks to the release of hitherto secret archives that
    are tallied with testimonies of protagonists from all sides
    (Mikhail Gorbachev speaks for the first time on the
    Afghanistan invasion for ex.), the film offers an unprecedented
    reading of history and an understanding of how we have come
    to such a confrontational standoff between the Muslim and the
    Western worlds.

    As with the previous film "Afghanistan, Price of


    Revenge", we have been fortunate enough to count on
    the collaboration of journalists Eric de Lavarne and Franois
    Bringer (see also <a

    Afghanistan and the US respectively.
