Zombies of Afghanistan: Even the Dogs Are Addicted (Never Filmed Before)

Video Description

In this documentary, we investigate one of the darkest corners of Afghanistan’s capital, Kabul — a place known as Pol-e Sokhta. Beneath this bridge, over 2000 drug-addicted and homeless people have been living for decades, trapped in a cycle of despair. Drug addiction has crippled Afghanistan for years, with nearly 4 million people addicted to substances like heroin and crystal meth. As the crisis deepens, the Taliban has launched a nationwide crackdown on addicts and drug dealers. We went inside this hidden underworld to uncover the harsh realities of life beneath the bridge, and to understand the larger addiction crisis gripping the country. From intense interviews with addicts to rare access inside rehabilitation centers, this film offers an unfiltered look at one of Afghanistan’s biggest human tragedies. #afghanistan #documentary #fulldocumentary #drug #addictionrecovery
