Obsession - Introduction

This clip, from near the beginning of the film Obsession, is used to introduce the threat of Radical Islam. The combination of news footage, interviews, and computer generated graphics, both catch the viewer up on the recent history of Radical Islam terrorism, as well as lay the seeds of fear in the viewer's mind that will later be cultivated by the rest of the film. Some things to note about this clip are it's use of music, editing, and imagery.

(This clip is from the documentary, Obsession: Radical Islam's War on the West (Kopping, 2005). It is being shown in conjunction with the critical review, discussion, and reseach put forth by the academic efforts of the students in "Communication: 3325 - Documentary Film" at Trinity University (Fall 2006).
