September Tapes is a faux-documentary feature film set in Afghanistan in the months following September 11th. It was made in Afghanistan in 2004 by film director Christian Johnston, who wrote the script with Christian Van Gregg . The plot details the fact that film makers, led by a character named Don Larson, have disappeared while making a documentary about a bounty hunter on the trail of Osama bin Laden. Eight tapes are found which show the group come closer and closer to Taliban fighters.
In the Spanish-language audiences the film is translated to "Septiembre Negro" (Black September)

"September Tapes" is so real that the Defence Department seized its early footage
ABOUT half way through "September Tapes", a fictional documentary set in post-Taliban Afghanistan and one of the more interesting films screened at this month's Sundance film festival, the protagonists get involved in a gun battle with Taliban fighters. No surprises here: as civilian westerners near the Pakistani border they are easy targets. What does come as a shock, though, is the unmistakable sound of live ammunition. To borrow Michael Herr's words, the elephant is right there, sitting on your chest.
