Not for Lack of Wanting chronicles the most significant research trip Raskin ever took, to Afghanistan in 2013. Set just before the drawdown of American troops and before the Taliban took power, the video follows Raskin — who plays themselves — to war museums and monuments in Kabul and Herat, and then through the Panjshir Valley. Along the way, Raskin encounters many things they do not understand, and the video rawly reveals their ignorance through conversations with collaborator and fixer Hikmat Zahid and others the two encounter along the way.
