A film about understanding the creation of the Osama bin Laden as a phenomenon of the interplay between history, politics, global economics and the media. The film highlights the historical background that led to the fatal link between post-Cold War politics and the emergence of new forms of terrorism that succeeded in establishing their own economy. It shows the connection between privatization, deregulation and free market and the globalization of terrorism. Paul Fitzgerald is one of the interviews that gets to the heart of the film, especially at the end.
