A road trip through Afghanistan

An American reporter Diego Buñuel takes a 52-minute road trip from Kabul to (Taliban hotbed) Kandahar taking us through spellbinding and unusual stories on Nat Geo.

In this episode, on March 7 at 8 p.m., of the new series of documentaries, ‘Don’t Tell My Mother,’ the viewer will hear new stories from Afghanistan where death, destruction and mayhem have at times reigned supreme.

Every day, millions of people in Afghanistan keep on living, laughing and struggling to make their country, their city and their future a better place.

These are the people who have attracted the attention of Diego Buñuel, an American reporter well known for his work as a foreign correspondent in Iraq, Afghanistan, the Congo and other hot spots around the globe.

Buñuel stops by Mazar-e-Sharif and Herat.

From the Kabul golf course, to a female Army helicopter pilot, from an interview with Mullah Omar’s look-alike who spent two years in hiding, to the first night-club open to Afghanis, Diego leads us head-on into fascinating and unusual tales about a country that many have tried to boil down to burkhas, bearded fighters and poppy harvests. But don’t tell his mother he’s travelling in Afghanistan!
