Will Afghanistan Ignite World War III?

This documentary returns to Afghanistan two decades after the war began and finds a country now caught between rival global powers rather than a small band of insurgents. It examines how great-power rivalry, nuclear-armed neighbours and shifting alliances turn the region into a dangerous flashpoint. Weighing the risks, it asks whether these tensions could ignite a far wider conflict. Sober and analytical, it looks past the headlines to explain why Afghanistan still matters to the world.
