I Was a Pirate for Halloween Once | 4

This episode of "Unicorn Girl" delves into Candace Rivera's ambitious and ultimately failed attempt to rescue individuals from Afghanistan following the Taliban takeover in August 2021. Candace, head of the anti-human trafficking nonprofit Exodus, claimed to have been tasked by the U.S. government or Hillary Clinton to evacuate people on a Taliban hit list. She assembled a black-ops team, amassed a large quantity of weapons and cash, and secured funding for a private plane. However, Candace's plans were riddled with inconsistencies and falsehoods, including false claims of government permissions and a fabricated journey to Afghanistan. While people in Afghanistan were waiting for rescue, Candace was celebrating her birthday in Utah. The mission unraveled in Dubai, where the team was briefly detained for carrying an illegal rifle, and Candace's lies were exposed, leaving those she promised to save in a precarious situation and her team disillusioned.
