Documentary feature The Longest War by director Greg Barker (Manhunt: The Inside Story of the Hunt for Bin Laden) comes to Stan.
This unpacks the human stories and drama behind America’s involvement in Afghanistan and is produced by Alex Gansa and Howard Gordon (Homeland).
As a companion piece to the final season of Homeland, which is set in contemporary Afghanistan where Claire Danes’ iconic CIA officer Carrie Mathison struggles to save a peace deal with the Taliban, The Longest War will unpack the CIA’s long and morally complicated history in the country from the 1980s to the present through compelling, first-hand accounts of CIA officers and other U.S. key officials. Among the extraordinary subjects featured is former CIA targeter Lisa Maddox, a field officer in Afghanistan who joined the intelligence community after witnessing the 9/11 attack on the Pentagon and now questions the effectiveness of America’s longest war. Gansa and Gordon serve as executive producers, along with Barker and Diane Becker. Peter Bergen and Tresha Mabile serve as producers.
Sunday 19th April on Stan.
