Editorial Reviews

MIKDAD: INTO THE MIND OF A TERRORIST is the story of Hussein Mikdad, a man who is sent to bestow mass death and destruction and becomes the only victim of his own bomb. Mikdad's dream had always been to play a key role among the guerrilla fighters of the Hezbollah. In 1996, he was offered the ideal mission: to wind his way from Beirut through Europe and to be the first to penetrate the borders of Israel -- all the while carrying plastic explosives in his suitcase. This documentary reveals a stunning network of international terrorism operating not only in the Middle East but also in the U.S. and Europe. MIKDAD: INTO THE MIND OF A TERRORIST exposes the incredible story of a terrorist as told by Hussein Mikdad in an exclusive interview.

SHAHEED probes the minds of suicide bombers who spearhead the psychological war of terror in the Middle East. This film examines the reasons why young men justify the sacrifice of their lives to become human bombs. The quest to become a "Shaheed", or in English, "holy martyr" is analyzed in rare, intimate interviews with these men.
