Rethink Afghanistan (2009)

Filmmaker Robert Greenwald (Outfoxed) carefully examines the war in Afghanistan, raising challenging questions about the destabilization of Pakistan, U.S. troop escalation, ballooning military costs, civilian casualties and much more. Through fascinating interviews with Afghans, veterans, reporters, ex-CIA agents and foreign-policy experts, Greenwald's incisive documentary urges an immediate de-escalation of the conflict.

흥미로운 사실

Rethink Afghanistan is a 2009 documentary by Robert Greenwald and Brave New Films, about the US military presence in Afghanistan following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.

Production and distribution

At the time of production, Greenwald determined that the topic of the Afghanistan war was extremely time sensitive, as policy was being decided in Washington concurrently, including decisions regarding a 2009 troop "surge." This informed his decision to release the film in sequential segments, on a shoestring, fundraising as he went along.

Brave New Films released the short chapters on the internet, an innovative distribution method at the time. As well as being streamed for free online, the completed film ran in a limited theatrical release, and was available on DVD. Rethink Afghanistan was also shown at thousands of Brave New Films’ signature "house parties."
