In your Sunday night movie, Kandahar, a CIA operative (Gerard Butler) and his translator (Navid Negahban) flee from special forces in Afghanistan after exposing a covert mission.
Afghanistan is a heterogeneous nation of several major ethnic groups, including Pashtuns, Tajiks, Hazaras, and Uzbeks. The capital of Afghanistan, Kabul, is one of the oldest cities in Central Asia.
