Each of the animators has been assigned a separate character or scene, and their different styles come across in the varying levels of surrealism.

Bin Laden's foot soldiers regularly slip through the walled enclaves and jostling bazaars to recruit jihadis or send out instructions. Taliban fighters float through to spy and resupply. Every Afghan faction has its representative in some dim house. Intelligence agents linger in the lobby of the Pearl Continental Hotel, where the phones are tapped and drivers let fall scraps of information. Places like this are where the operatives who can pin a real...
