Films that Divide, Films that Unite
Walter Lippman once said, "The way in which the world is imagined will determine at any given moment what men will do."
Think of that line as you watch the evening news or read the newspaper. The sad truth is that a large number of the images we see on a regular basis are about fear, mistrust and violence. Sometimes, those feel like the only possibilities.
Stories shape our lives and our societies. Extremists understand that very well. A few months ago, The Washington Post did an exceptional video news story on how Muslim extremists use film as a weapon in their war.
“Without the video, it’s just an attack,” details just how deliberate and strategic these groups are when it comes to using video. Murdering people is only one of their goals. Spreading the idea of Islam as a violent religion and convincing people that we are in a clash of civilizations is just as central to their agenda.
