Jihad: The Untold Story of Islamist Terrorism
Jihad is a definitive television history of Islamist terrorism. The filmmakers examine the history and nature of this movement by focusing on radical Islam's relationship to violence and the social and economic conditions that contribute to it. The issues will be explored within a narrative history of al Qaeda that focuses on key figures in the organization such as Sayyid Qutb, Abdullah Azzam, Sheikh Omar Abdul Rahman, Osama bin Laden, and Ayman al Zawahiri. The film illustrates how these characters' often-accidental meetings gave birth to the most feared terrorist network in history.
