Retrograde (2022)
Saddest part is happening BECAUSE of this film.

These heroes' faces were not blurred by the producers. And so, the Taliban is using this as an actual Hit List, and executing these abandoned individuals. SAD!
The film takes a turn when the US decides to pull out of the conflict. We see the rushed retrograde of the US Military and its effect on the moral and logistics of the Afghan Army. The rest of the film follows General Sadat as he tries to keep a brave face and keep his men fighting. Unfortunately, renewed Taliban attacks after the Americans leave are too much for the nascent democracy to handle. The humanitarian disaster that follows is heartbreakingly EXACERBATED by this film. SHAME on you all, editors, producers, and distributors!
