Amanpour: Saad Mohseni, David Miliband, Barry Jenkins and Nanfu Wang

As Afghanistan still reels from the Taliban’s seizure of the country, Afghan media mogul Saad Mohseni reflects on President Ashraf Ghani's quick departure that triggered the collapse of the political system as we know it. The head of the International Rescue Committee also weighs in, arguing that we can't allow a military withdrawal to become the excuse for a humanitarian withdrawal from Afghanistan. Then writer and director Barry Jenkins talks about making his Emmy-nominated series "The Underground Railroad" and the importance of having therapists on set. And turning to the pandemic, Nanfu Wang, director of “In the Same Breath” reflects on how it all began, from China to the United States.
