Filmmaker Ibrahim Nash'at spent a year among the zealots and asks, 'Who gives a society the right to do that?' His documentary Hollywoodgate, which premiered at the Venice Film Festival, sees him embed with a unit of Taliban fighters right after American troops fled in 2021. In the opening minutes, Nash'at's camera follows Mansour and his ragtag group of fighters as they take control of a US airbase, abandoned just days earlier by the retreating Americans. They rummage through fridges of beer, and hangars where seemingly sabotaged Black Hawk helicopters have been abandoned. 'See what treasures the Americans have left us,' one gloats.
