Comment from the contributor:

From Journeyman Pictures--
This report examines the migration of the war in Afghanistan towards Pakistan's border. After the Taliban were overthrown in 2001, they fled into the mountainous terrain between Afghanistan and Pakistan.  Though the Pakistani government claims to be in support of the U.S. initiative, it is hestiant to tackle the Taliban problem within its own borders, which is critical for success in Afghanistan.
