Exporting the Taliban revolution
A documentary from October 1998. A pre 9/11 view of things; from the looks of it, the Taliban were ready to expand and would have done so whether there was an American invasion of Afghanistan or not. Towards the end Maulana Samiullah predicts the rise of the Taliban because of non-functional democracy in Pakistan.
It also focuses on Jandullah and how they were causing mischief in Iran back in the 90s.
