Addie Morfoot ContributorThe 2021 United States dramatic airlift out of Afghanistan is the subject of “Escape From Kabul,” an HBO Original documentary being released on Sept. 21. Directed by Jamie Roberts (“Four Hours at the Capitol”) and executive produced by Dan Reed (“Leaving Neverland”), the docu was filmed over 18 days during the United States military’s withdrawal from Afghanistan’s Kabul International Airport last year.
The chaotic airlift ended a two-decade war with the Taliban that began shortly after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. U.S.
Marines were deployed to Kabul on August 13, 2021, with orders to evacuate American citizens and “at risk” Afghans who had cooperated with the Americans and Allied Forces during the 20 -year conflict. The orderly evacuation was meant to be implemented by the agreed-upon deadline of August 31, but the Taliban unexpectedly took control of the city two days after the Marines arrived. Fearing the Taliban takeover and the subsequent crackdowns on human rights, thousands of Afghan men, women, and children rushed to the Kabul Airport, seeking an escape route.
Taliban fighters, including suicide troops, encircled the airport perimeter in an uneasy truce with U.S. and Allied forces. In the final week of the withdrawal, a suicide bomb attack that ISIS claimed killed 13 U.S.
military personnel and more than 170 Afghan civilians. In “Escape From Kabul,” Roberts captures the intense, dangerous evacuation of tens of thousands of Afghan citizens. To tell the story, Roberts uses never-before-seen archival footage taken on the ground at the airport along and exclusive interviews with people who were in Afghanistan during the time, including Afghan citizens attempting to flee, U.S.
