S. withdrawal of its troops from Afghanistan through the subsequent evacuation of tens of thousands of Afghan citizens from Kabul airport after the Taliban seized the city. That’s a thing that matters, and if you break bread with people you can talk and really build relationships that way and that was a big way. I mean, from my perspective, maybe the—it’s not being covered that much, as much as maybe it should because there is anathema towards it.

Why someone would cling to the wing of a plane as it took off; how that might feel to witness them fall back to earth.He has presented several documentaries, which have aired around the world, including 'Arabia with Levison Wood', which was shortlisted for Best Documentary Series at the Broadcast Awards 2020 and his latest series 'Walking with Elephants', which recounts a trek across Botswana following a herd of elephants to the Okavango Delta. Featuring unseen footage and exclusive interviews, this dramatic film tells the inside story of the largest airlift in modern US history, marking the end of America’s longest war.

Over a year out, the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan still seems, from afar, shocking, swift, baffling. And we didn’t use it all in the film, but some of those visceral moments are from his bodycam, and also what it allowed us to do was really understand, again, the run of events.
