Review of Bitter Lake

Bitter Lake (2015)
9/10
Wow. Heart breaking...
20 September 2021
Powerful and at times brutal documentary that lays bare the history behind the current day situation in Afghanistan - from Roosevelt and the Saudi's, the Russians and the Muhajideen, the British and the international arms trade, the global banking system to Bin Laden and of course the Taliban - what an utter mess of failed diplomacy, vested interests, corruption, religion, fanatical idealism, terror and varied international 'meddling' on a grand scale leading to many decades of political instability and human tragedy.

There's no good versus evil here, because other than the Afghan people no one comes out of this with any merit.
