Synopsis
A CBS News documentary bringing viewers to the camps of the Afghanistan resistance fighters, the Mujihadden, who have been waging an ongoing struggle against the Soviets armed forces, which invaded their country in 1979. Film material for the documentary comes from field reports filed by cameraman Mike Hoover, who had visited Afghanistan numerous times. His film dispatches, collected especially for this report, summarize key military actions that the Mujihadden -- supported by U.S.-provided weapons and materiel -- has launched over the past three years.
