New film 'Retrograde' chronicles chaotic United States withdrawal from Afghanistan

It has been 16 months since the United States left Afghanistan in what a top U.S. military officer called a “strategic defeat.” The new film "Retrograde" documents the withdrawal, the Afghan forces left to fight on their own, and the chaotic conclusion to 20 years of war. Nick Schifrin sat down with filmmaker Matthew Heineman and one of his central characters.
