Title: great information - a little hard to get through
Review: i cannot really call this a documentary. It seems more akin to old college lectures where you had to remember key phrases and underlined words - and there are quite a few of them. The video does a very good job presenting the historical beginnings of Islam and takes an interesting approach when discussing 20th century affairs in the Middle East. Great source of information / dates / events / statistics for any papers or debate sources, but I think that it is best to have an existing interest and understanding of Islamic and Middle East affairs before trying to get through this DVD.
