Nice video!
One comment. The enemy image of an Arab terrorist wasn't born after 9/11. It was born way back during the Cold War, during the 80's. In movies (Back to the Future, Seal Team, Iron Eagle), tv series (MacGywer) and digital games.
For example in Sierras Codename: Iceman main plot is an scenario where Arab terrorist cell have kidnapped an american ambassador. Later it is known that terrorist were backed by Soviet KGB.
Interestingly enough, the old Soviet enemy image has also made comeback. Both Arab terrorism and evil Russia were both products of the Cold War. And in many cases where Arab terrorism is orientalized. What I mean by this, is that terrorism is often described as bunch of useful fools which are controlled by some other more powerful nation state (Russia or China).
PS. Bad guys shoot red lasers? Well.. Not in Star Wars.:) In fact, curiously enough Empire fire green lasers. Same color as Soviet use in their tracer ammunition. -

"After the end of World War II, the world was split into two: East, and West. This marked the beginning of the era called the Cold War."
You should have started the video with this! -

Incredible, amazing production. Forgive my poor use of vocabulary, but this is a literally perfect documentary. It is ascetically appealling, well-arranged, and most importantly, thought provoking and deeply inspiring. To make connections and inferrences between multiple seemingly unrelated aspects of society and culture requires a brilliant mind and a great amount of knowledge. My hat to you, Mr Stuart Brown.
