This documentary critically examines the dominant discourse in the West, particularly in the United States, about the supposed relationship between Arabs and Terrorism.  Three edifying episodes tell the truth behind the principal perpetrators of terror and their victims.

Unique in its breath and scope, this documentary was researched in six languages, filmed in 10 countries and includes more than 95 interviews with Middle East experts and politicians, as well as dozens of street interviews conducted in the United States, Europe and the Middle East.
