In the Name of God

Reaching far into the realms of radical Islam, this film brings authentic voices from those willing to literally sacrifice themselves for God’s will. From Al-Quaeda supporters in Pakistan to women in religious schools, and the startling and bloody images from the Ashura festival in South Lebanon, people are willing to go all the way in the name of God. Their understanding of His intention determines the route, but another interpretation lies waiting which could change their direction.
