Out of Afghanistan

About Out of Afghanistan

Following the emergency evacuations of thousands of people from Kabul after it fell to the Taliban, what happened to the people once those planes landed in the UK? ‘Out of Afghanistan’ shares the first person accounts of those who were caught up in the fall of Kabul, forced to flee their homes and start new lives with little more than hand luggage. Sky News has followed families over the course of several months from living in hotels and trying to find their bearings as well as jobs, homes and friends. Presented by Stuart Ramsay, Sky News’ Chief Correspondent, who reported on the emergency evacuations in 2021 and has reported on Afghanistan for more than 20 years.
