Billion Dollar Base: Army Base in Afghanistan | Free Documentary

[@FreeDocumentary]

The Dismantling of British Base Camp Bastion in Afghanistan. For 8 years, it's been the powerhouse of UK and US Military operations. Now, Britain's biggest overseas base since WWII is closing down for good. The doc team was given exclusive access to the men and women whose job it was to pack up this giant jigsaw puzzle, ending one of the longest wars in British history. The camp, bigger than many towns in Britain, with a massive infrastructure - airport, hospital, fast food restaurants - is being dismantled and sent back to the UK. Any leftovers will be handed over to the Afghans. But with defenses and manpower depleting daily, the future of Afghanistan could become even more precarious with nothing in between its people and the constant threat of the Taliban. And as we've heard from the US, they plan on pulling out everything and every one by September 11 of this year. Available Worldwide except the UK #freedocumentary
