This film looks at domestic pressures and geo-strategic interests that keep the U.S. in Afghanistan, and the long history of U.S. foreign interventions that forms the broader context for this war.  We also see today's peace movement continuing another long tradition: popular resistance to war.

Why Are We in Afghanistan? is an educational resource for communities, classrooms, unions, veterans and active duty military, and anyone who wonders why we are in Afghanistan, and what to do about it.
