  • In December 2001, as American forces blasted mountain hideouts in the Tora Bora region of Afghanistan, hundreds of Al Qaeda soldiers fled seemingly disappearing into thin air. In this 2002 documentary, FRONTLINE investigates what happened to the fighters who survived.
    This journalism is made possible by viewers like you. Support your local PBS station here: www.pbs.org/donate​.
    In August of 2002, FRONTLINE veteran producer Martin Smith, his co-producer Marcela Gaviria, and cameraman Scott Anger set out on a two-month journey that took them from London to the Gulf of Oman, into the border regions and teeming cities of Pakistan, and finally to Saudi Arabia and Yemen to investigate what happened to Al Qaeda. Where did its members find sanctuary? Had the network been scattered and rendered ineffective -- or were they regrouping and planning more attacks?

    I want to see a Frontline episode focusing on people they interviewed 10-20years ago in Afghanistan, Yemen, Pakistan, etc, with a current follow up on how things have been and their hopes for the future.

    • @Living_Dead_Girrl

      That'd be amazing. The unfortunate reality is due to the chaos of ensuing & overlapping wars, rise of ISIS, Iranian invasion of Iraq and now covertly in Afghanistan under the guise of "civil war with Taliban" (covered by recent Frontline video); it's very likely they've lost the ability to contact or locate most of these people years ago or they died. Also, the Frontline journalist who did all of the war reporting seems to have retired. I no longer see him in any Frontline documentaries over the past 3-4 yrs. So much depends on the journalist, their contacts, candor, how they interview and stay in contact with sources, etc when it comes to getting people to talk and getting answers you can work with.
      I've seen Frontline in recent years turn to interviewing biased and unethical sources, like those surrounding the Trump campaign/admin and the minority corporate news outlet reporters hand-picked by Trump to receive White House press credentials, without any central journalist narrating or confronting these people when they try to lie to get more out of them than just released propaganda and fluff. In most PBS Frontline political specials since 2016, there's little narrative or context given outside of the sound bites taken from the interviewees; which allows them to effectively control the narrative, or at least muddy the waters; making Frontline come off soft against corrupt tyrannts in recent years.
      These recent uploads from 10-20 yrs ago make me miss OG Frontline so much 😢
      I'm afraid the Trump admin, and the outrage reporting racket corp news got rich off of, is having a lasting negative impact on investigative journalism. In the short-term, Trump's hijinks like withholding millions in congressional funds annually from non-profits that support internet privacy & human rights advocacy, encrypted communication app dev for journalists & dissidents, and publicly funded news orgs like PBS, ProPublica, VOA, etc, financially damaged orgs that couldn't get enough emergency donations in time (leading to massive layoffs or worse). Then there was Trump's blatant sabotage of VOA by appointing a loyalist with no experience to take over, fire all staff that refused to publish White House propaganda, and cancelled foreign correspondent's Visas leaving them trapped abroad in extremely dangerous situations. Plus factors like a new economic recession, which aids mega-corps like Fox News/the Murdochs in aggressively buying-up all local newsrooms struggling to keep the lights on (e.g. The Capital Gazette in DC, which was the target of a mass shooting around the same time), consolidating & censoring; and corporate news focusing on publishing headlines that get clicks in order to maximize ad profits.
      This is why black out media coverage of Trump's antics dominated the news from late-2015 to early-2021; causing critical stories to get buried. It's a tactic that Trump, perhaps more-so than any American politician before him, was able exploit this capitalist black hole by putting out inflammatory Tweets & statements right when his people knew a massive story was about to come out. Another issue is outlets with decades-long reputations of trustworthiness (whether or not rightly earned), like the NYT & Washington Post, now clickbaiting readers. Following the trend initially set by online-only outlets like BuzzFeed & Huffington Post (who coincidentally now publish a lot of the investigative journalist pieces turned down by the "reputable" news outlets), they're engineering their headlines (even changing them minutes after publishing if they're not getting enough views) to whatever it takes to go viral on social media; causing a crisis of disinfo due to the bad habit of people sharing articles before actually reading them.
      Countless examples of NYT doing this on their COVID coverage by using a thumbnail & headline they knew would trigger massive outrage, while discussing an entirely different subject in the article contents itself (i.e. blaming one minority group for vaccine shortages in headline & photo, but citing completed unrelated causation in the article itself - helping to incite numerous hate crimes the NYT then "failed" to report).

      Might sound cheesy but I think it's because PBS is free. They don't charge you to watch it. They don't sell ads. They ask for donations but there isn't a giant corporate agenda. They are just reporting both (or all) sides. Letting the people on both sides say what they have to say. Martin from what I remember has been shot at, had a grenade thrown at his hotel, and yet he still goes to the Middle East to report for most if not all of this war, and before it.
      I found myself rewatching all these recently. Remember watching them on an actual box TV via cable. Channel number 2 I believe. Now I'm watching this on my phone via the wireless internet. I'm in the future. lol. Got off topic there for a second.

Lmao so hilarious how the anti-trump Dems became so deranged they rehabilitated all the Bush neocon war criminals and now are siding with their hawkish views on more war in the Middle East. If it were up to them we would be in Afghanistan for another 20 years. Doesn’t matter to them because these people are never affected. They don’t have any friends or family that are military and stepped on an IED. It’s all a game to them in their Tesla Model X sipping their soy latte.

      I hope one day, when people want to learn about others, they'll not think of a biopic but, instead, a biography. Or any other book, like an almanac or an encyclopaedia. Or an online source, like, the PBS Frontline website, or, the many talks Smith has given. Or the PBS video archive, in which he's discussed his past at some length. A biopic is not necessary, to learn about someone. Often biopics are distorted and do injury to the person's reputation - if they even want such a film to be made.

      @@jimreily7538 what pbs documentary does he share about himself? The only one I’ve seen which talks in some detail is retirement.
      Nothing wrong with a biopic. It introduces masses to someone they wouldn’t commonly know. I’d personally would prefer a biographic documentary. But I also love Christian bale 🤪

    The basic ignorance of the Bush Presidency and the general naïveté and arrogance of the US political class is appalling.
    I believe it is true that not a single member of the US Congress had a son or daughter is risking their lives in Iraq or Afghanistan.
    The voting public in the US should not put up with this extraordinary hypocrisy and incompetence on the part of their political leadership in Washington

    I bet this whole documentary is about nobody giving up any information. It took us 20 years just to find out these people people are here to stay. Opinions is just undermining these peoples willingness to survive through faith and punishment. There is only one fact at this moment. We live in a new day in age. A news type of world. A world that most people tried to stop from existing and a world very few people knew it was Inevitable.

    A Peace Corps worker came to my 6th grade class and did a slide show about providing running water for a village in some mountains. The sky was brilliant blue, the women were walking around in relative security and ease, and the children seemed happy. The Peace Corps guy was there for two years. All was relatively good. That was 1965. Terribly sad to remember now.

      I agree. It seems as though we take it upon ourselves to interfere in foreign affairs without on-the-ground intelligence and understanding of a thousand plus year history that is more layered than any we are familiar with. Great Britain did the same in the 20's, trying to make a square fit into a circle. Katherine Bell tried, but we westerners just don't comprehend the backstory. Unfortunately, it's all about economics and power...areas in which we as westerners feel obligated to be involved, regardless of our understanding, because it's in "our best interest", regardless of what those involved think
