Kabul's population has grown from 600,000 to 6 million in twenty years, and this film tracks what that explosion has done to the city: houses climbing higher into the surrounding hills, refugee camps stretching for kilometers, and a population of Tajiks, Pashtuns, Hazaras, Sikhs, and other groups living side by side without much cohesion. Cameras follow the black market economy that now reportedly accounts for around 52% of the country's GNP, built largely on opium cultivation that has expanded past 3 million hectares despite a decade of Western military presence. Interviews and street footage cover the daily mechanics of survival in a city short on work: crime, corruption, abduction, and drug trafficking operating alongside ordinary commerce and traffic. The film closes on the Taliban's growing presence at the capital's edges, framing Kabul as a city running out of time before a takeover. It is a ground-level portrait of a war-strained capital rather than a policy analysis, built from footage of neighborhoods, markets, and the people navigating them.
