Synopsis
The second of a multipart documentary series, this episode deals with "state terrorism." Arabs & Terrorism is ambitious in terms of its scope (filmed in the United States, France, the UK, Netherlands, Spain, Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, & Israel) & unique in the way it attempts to bridge the divides of language, geography & point of view. By using nested interviewing, Haddad gives his participants the opportunity to respond directly to assertions made in other interviews. In this way, a dialogue of sorts is started with individuals as diverse as the Secretary General of Hezbollah & the Los Angeles County Sheriff.
