Retrograde

Before the United States’ ill-fated withdrawal from Afghanistan, there was hope that the Afghan army would be able to hold onto power. But the country fell into chaos almost immediately, leaving both the Afghan army and citizens alike to grapple with sorrow, frustration, and fear. With extraordinary access, Academy Award-nominated director Matthew Heineman (City of Ghosts, Antenna 2017) follows Major General Sadat and the 215th Corps through their devastating journey of retreat. The result is a heart-wrenching look at the aftermath and consequences of the controversial end to the “forever war”.
