Afghantsi is a 1988 documentary film directed by Peter Kosminsky for Yorkshire Television.

It is based on numerous interviews with Soviet soldiers and officers filmed in Kabul at the end of the Soviet war in Afghanistan.

Kosminsky visited several units of the 103rd Airborne Division, including an outpost on a mountain side overlooking Tajbeg Palace, the headquarters of the 40th Army.

The soldiers in the film speak about the hardships of service in Afghanistan, combat experience and the loss of close friends.

Another part of the film is devoted to interviews with veterans of the war that have already returned home, and parents of those who died.

The film follows the 2nd Platoon of Battle Company on a 15-month deployment in the Korengal Valley of northeast Afghanistan in the Nuristan area. The Korengal flows north to the Pech, which then flows east to the Kunar River valley on the border with Pakistan. The film chronicles the lives of the men from their deployment to the time of their return home. The Korengal Valley was at the time regarded as "the deadliest place on Earth" (as stated in the documentary itself, trailers, and television commercials on the National Geographic Channel). The goal of the deployment was to clear the Korengal Valley of insurgency and gain the trust of the local populace.

Un nouveau regard - percutant et désespérant - sur la guerre en Irak, où comment le président américain George W. Bush et son administration, en l'occurrence la CIA, manipulèrent les masses.
