Set in Afghanistan, not filmed there
1 more place in Afghanistan appears on this atlas because a game, an anime or a manga is SET there. Nothing was filmed at it: a drawn or rendered work is filmed nowhere, and some of these places are invented and pinned on what Wikidata says they are based on.
Also shot in Afghanistan, without a precise location
Wikidata records 1 more production as shot in Afghanistan while naming only the country or the state — true, and too coarse to pin, so they are named here rather than dropped or guessed at.
Also named as shot in Afghanistan by their Wikipedia articles
5 productions name Afghanistan in their Wikipedia articles as where they were shot, without a place inside it, so they are listed here rather than pinned or dropped.
- Pathaan 2023
- Forces spéciales 2011
- The Road to Guantanamo 2006
- Dharmatma 1975
