National Geographic removed the three-time Emmy-winning documentary Retrograde from its streaming platforms in April. The removal was a response to media outlets, including the Washington Examiner, inquiring about whether National Geographic had culpability for the death of an Afghan contractor featured prominently in the film, which details the final months of U.S. military efforts in Afghanistan.

Numerous onlookers, including 1208 Foundation founder and Green Beret Thomas Kasza, do not feel that removing the documentary from streaming platforms goes far enough to protect other contractors who appeared in the film and remain in peril in Afghanistan today.
