  "... a documentary about the increasing number of propaganda films  
used as weapons of war in the Islamic world."

"...The video is emotional, powerful and – thanks to the Internet –  
you can get it anywhere in the world. Some clips are viewed 2000  
times in the space of ten weeks, as the audience widens.

The production process is taken very seriously. The producer of one  
video says he uses Windows Movie Maker to make the films and then,  
only when the video has been checked and approved by the group’s  
chain of command, will it be taken to an innocuous internet café to  
be uploaded. “The CIA can search for ages. Even if they find the café  
where it is uploaded, they can never find the person,” explains  
journalist Faris bin Hizam."
