The documentary is a typical work of left-of-center journalist.  Reagan “walked away from Afghanistan” when the cold war ended.  The cold war did not end because of anything Reagan did, but “because these brave afghan’s defeated the Soviets”.  Then, completely skipping over the eight years of the Clinton Administration and ignoring the growing terrorist threat from the Taliban running Afghanistan, “Bush was warned about the great risk to America” in April, before the September 11th attacks.

Although this docu-drama was obviously well funded and put together professionally, it reflects a hard-left editorial bias as is typical of this generation’s “journalists”.
