Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan Footage - Behind the Lines with Afghan Mujahideen (1980)
On 8 January 1980, ITN's Jon Snow made the treacherous journey into Afghanistan to report on the tribesmen waging a war of resistance against the invading forces of the Soviet Union. Filmed just two weeks after Soviet forces crossed the border, Snow's report captures a phase of the war in which the Afghan mujahideen fought a desperate, lonely campaign against the Soviet military machine.
