Clip description
Newspaper editor Rami Khouri argues that modern political history has generated terrorism and that the situation will worsen if this is not recognised. Journalist Robert Fisk notes that when new footage of Osama Bin Laden surfaces the focus is always on where he is, not that he is talking about history.
Curator’s notes
Most of those interviewed exhibit passion for the subject matter. But documentaries that are chiefly made up of talking heads can become quite tedious, especially if the subject matter is as serious and dense as this material. The mix of animation, historical footage and new material lightens the overall film and makes it very digestible.
