13 Days, 13 Nights

Kabul, August 15, 2021. American troops are leaving Afghanistan and the Taliban are attacking the capital. They take it over, and Kabul descends into complete chaos. Thousands of terrified Afghans flock to the last safe haven, the French embassy, where Commander Mohamed Bida and his elite team ensure security. Bida is trapped inside the building along with hundreds of civilians. In a last-ditch effort, he must negotiate with the Taliban to organize an evacuation convoy with the help of French-Afghan humanitarian worker Eva. A race against time begins, as in a few days it will be too late to escape. The film 13 Days, 13 Nights is based on the incredible but true story that Mohamed Bida published in his book of the same name.
