Back when Afghanistan was a communist country, Ahmad Shah Massoud helped fight the regime and was instrumental in turning back the later Soviet invasion. He continued to fight against the regime that came into power after the communists (i.e. the Taliban) until his assassination by al-Qaeda in 2001.
He is a national hero of Afghanistan, and the Wall Street Journal has called him "the Afghan who won the Cold War." This is actually a pretty deserved epithet, seeing as how the Soviet Union probably never would have fallen if not for their failure in Afghanistan, and it was due largely to Massoud and his followers that the Soviets were defeated.
So my question is, when is the biopic coming out?
