It’s been an explosive three months since we sent out our last Highlights email. Obsession has gained international acclaim with extensive media exposure, thanks to Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and others. This Highlights email will update you on the latest Obsession happenings, including upcoming film festivals, new approbations, media clips, and Obsession premiere events.

Wayne Kopping, Director of Obsession, was featured on the Rush Limbaugh Show. Rush interviewed Wayne, who called in from South Africa, for 13 minutes – an unprecedented length for the show.

Wayne Kopping and Nonie Darwish were interviewed live on the Hannity and Colmes Fox television show. In addition, Obsession was featured on the show again the next night.

Wayne Kopping was interviewed on the Laura Ingraham Show.

Wayne Kopping was interviewed on WJR Radio - ABC Detroit.

Obsession was featured in FrontPageMag.com.

You can now order the pre-release edition of Obsession, a 60-minute version of the film.

For a brief period, Obsession was available for viewing on Google Video, thanks to someone who uploaded the DVD in its entirety. Since then, we have removed it from the site. However, in that short period of time, Obsession rose to 6th place on Google Video, giving the film tremendous exposure, and demonstrating an enormous amount of public interest in the film.

It is no secret that Obsession’s success is largely dependant upon our supporters. How widely and how effectively we are able to spread the message about the threat of Radical Islam and the necessity for the free world to stand up for our values is in ALL of our hands.

Our immediate priorities are to find a distributor and to generate positive media coverage. If you can help us, or you know of someone who can help us, please contact us at info@obsessionthemovie.com.
