Escape From Kabul unfolds over 18 monumental days in August 2021,  from the U.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.

This deeply immersive and emotional documentary combines never-before-seen archival footage from those on the ground at the airport, with exclusive interviews with people who were there throughout the period, including Afghan citizens attempting to flee, U.S. Marines tasked with managing the evacuation, and Taliban commanders and fighters who had recently taken the city.

Premieres on HBO on Wednesday, September 21 at 9pm and streams on HBO Max
