The first of a multi-faceted documentary project focusing on Arabs and terrorism. Researched in six languages and filmed on location in eleven countries with 120 experts and politicians as well as hundreds of street interviews across the United States, Europe, and the Arab world. The first 3-episode miniseries of the documentary component of this project examines the dominant discourse on terrorism in the United States and Europe, and offers critics an opportunity to respond. The resulting documentary turns a critical eye on current American perceptions regarding the hypothetical link between Arabs and terrorism, while cutting to the heart of the historic and ongoing conflict of ideas between the Arab World and the West.
