An official selection of 2010 Tribeca Film Festival, offers a crash course in modern islamic fundamentalism. Wright's footage and interviews range from the radicalization of future al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri after he and other Egyptians were imprisoned for the 1981 assassination of Egyptian Anwar El Sadat, to the rise of Osama bin Laden after he fought the Soviets in Afghanistan during the 1980s, to America's current dilemma as a superpower in danger of overextending its military presence in a region filled with militants who prefer death over life.
