Check out THIS 2005 documentary film about the Bamyan Buddhas.
It’s been out for a while, but I figured I’d draw your attention to it, since Columbia University’s Center for Archaeology recently hosted a discussion panel about it. It’s a good introduction to some of the problems facing archaeological sites in Central Asia.
It’s also available for purchase on DVD. I know what’s on my Christmas list!
