"Shadow Of Afghanistan invites viewers into the once breathtakingly scenic and peaceful country that has been ravaged by decades of war - beginning with the 1979 Soviet invasion. The informative documentary is at times haunting and sad, at times heart-warming and inspiring."

"Shadow Of Afghanistan is a most important film of our time.

"Intelligent, ambitious docu, 20 years in the making, Shadow Of Afghanistan traces the history of the country from Eisenhower’s visit in 1959 through the Soviet invasion, civil war and the post-9/11 American occupation."

"Burroughs and Bauman have created an unusual, emotional, and personal film that weaves together over twenty years of footage shot by them and by Lee Shapiro and Jim Lindelof - including interviews with Russian and Afghan soldiers and never-before-seen footage of al-Qaeda members - into a film about the Afghan people's struggle for self-determination."
- Time
"Suzanne Bauman and Jim Burroughs, both Academy Award nominees, have worked on Shadow of Afghanistan for the better part of twenty years and during the course of seventeen trips to Afghanistan. Because the filmmakers are less photojournalists than they are art and social historians, the footage and the story are remarkable… a powerful and educational achievement."
- Karl Katz, Director Muse Film and Television
