When the United States withdrew from its twenty-year “forever war” in
Afghanistan, the Taliban retook control of the ravaged country and immediately
found an American base loaded with weaponry—a portion of the over $7 billion in
U.S. armaments still in the country. Unprecedented and audacious, director
Ibrahim Nash’at’s HOLLYWOODGATE spends a year inside Afghanistan
following the Taliban as they take possession of the cache America left
behind—and transform from a fundamentalist militia into a heavily armed military
regime.
