Armed with a camera and a laptop, Arab-American filmmaker Bassam Haddad (About Baghdad) scours the globe in an effort to break down mass media-imposed barriers on information and find answers to some of the most persistent questions generated by the "War on Terror." Through no less than 95 interviews with high-profile politicians, Middle East experts and with people on the streeet, Haddad strives to open a dialogue between neoconservatives in Washington, DC and the so-called Arab "terrorists" they obsess about.

Featuring ground-breaking interviews with:

Hassan Nasrallah, Jeane Kirkpatrick, Khalid Mish'al, Hanan Ashrawi, Admiral Ami Ayalon , Anthony Cordesman, Ramadan Shallah, Zeev Boim, Amira Hass, Angel Lossada, Buthaina Shaban, Tariq Ali Mahdi, Akif Meyrav Wurmser, Michael Hudson, Mohammad Hussein Fadlallah, Nawal Sadawi, Talal Salman, Sir John Butterfill, Walid Al Omary, Jose Irujo, Jean Brisdard, Yves Roucaute and Nsr Hamid Abu-Zaid

Review: ...a documentary that dares to journey into waters seldom treaded by other filmmakers, by traveling right to the core of the ideological debate that lies behind the war on terror and investigating what the Arab people actually think, believe and desire...independent of media bias. --All Movie Guide
