Award Winning Film on Radical Islam’s War Against the West is Released Despite Attempts to Prevent Screenings

Los Angeles--May 21, 2007—

“Obsession is without exaggeration one of the most important films of our time… Please, you must see it” pleads Glenn Beck of CNN Headline News.
 
Obsession: Radical Islam’s War Against the West is an award-winning, eye-opening documentary that allows us to enter the minds of radical Islamists - to hear and see what they think about us in the West. Using actual footage from Arabic TV rarely seen in the West, and interviews with former terrorists, Obsession documents the call for world domination and global jihad that are made by Islamic leaders daily. You do not have to read between the lines here – their message is loud and clear. The undercover footage shows suicide bomber initiations, the indoctrination of young children into hate and violence, secretjihad meetingsand public celebrations of 9/11.

Obsession’s pre-release edition has generated intense public interest.  Fox News ran a one hour Prime Time Special on the film nine times in two weeks, due to the high ratings it received.  It has been the talk of several radio shows, including CNN News, The Glenn Beck program, Fox News’ Hannity and Colmes, BBC/PBS, and many others.  Due to its vivid exposition of the terrorist’s ideology and methodology, Obsession has been used by numerous military and security personnel for educational purposes as well.

The New York Times, NY Post and other newspapers covered the recent controversy when administrators from Pace University attempted to prevent the screening of Obsession fearing Muslim opposition.  Similar incidents occurred at the State University of New York - Stonybrook, Georgia Tech University, as well as in the Winnipeg, Manitoba community.

“Obsession should serve as a wake-up call to the free world to confront the threat now, before it is too late..." warns Joel Surnow, Executive Producer of “24”.

Obsession is touted as “The movie Hollywood doesn’t want you to see,” due to the fact that despite the overwhelming public interest, no distributor was willing to pick up the film for release because of its controversial nature.  Obsession shows that what the West perceives as seemingly isolated acts of terrorism are actually viewed by radical Islamists as integral parts of the global war they are waging against us.

The feature-length edition is now being released despite protests from political groups opposed to the film.

Obsessionfeatures interviews with Sir Martin Gilbert, Alan Dershowitz, Daniel Pipes, Steve Emerson, a former Federal Prosecutor, a former Hitler Youth Commander, as well as anti-Islamist Muslims including the daughter of a terrorist, a former Palestinian terrorist, a Palestinian journalist, and the director of the Palestinian Media Watch. The film demonstrates parallels between Chamberlain’s doomed strategy of appeasing Hitler and the West’s current attitude of appeasing Iran and radical Islamists, the film also traces blatant similarities between the Nazi movement of World War II, and the “Islamo-fascists” of today.

Awarded Best Feature Film at the Liberty Film Festival and a Special Jury Award at the WorldFest Houston, it also was an Official Selection for the Newport Beach Film Festival, the Great Lakes Film Festival, the Fort Lauderdale Film Festival and the Beloit International Film Festival.

The film has now been picked up by Trinity Home Entertainment to be released ---
