No Way Home, Episode Four: Getting Out Alive
After a year in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan, one family gets an unexpected chance to leave.
No Way Home
Created by Afghans forced into exile when the Taliban took over in 2021, “No Way Home” tells of the perilous exodus born of two decades of broken promises in the U.S. war on terror. Through the stories of four Afghans who tried to leave when the U.S. military pulled out of Afghanistan that summer, these Afghan storytellers use their own experiences of departure, loss, and resilience to illuminate the dark end of America’s longest war. A production of The Intercept and New America, “No Way Home” is a mini-series available on the Intercepted podcast.
