Documentary Description
As the US apologises for the recent killing of civilians in air
strikes on the Farah province of Afghanistan, Dispatches examines the
effect these military operations are having on US-Afghan relations. Directed
by Emmy and Bafta award-winning film-maker Tom Roberts, this programme
investigates a similar American assault on the village of Azizabad last
year, in which scores of civilians, including dozens of women and
children were killed. The film examines the reaction of the US
forces - which initially declared the operation a success and denied
any civilian deaths - and looks at how, despite evidence to the
contrary, the US army remains robust in denying any wrongdoing.
