Images Transform Our World Part 1: The War on Terror

Now in the 21st century, images trace the "war on terror". In 2001, 2 planes plunge in to destroy New York's twin towers and become a lightning rod for hatred. After the Iraq War, images of torture by US soldiers in Abu Ghraib prison stir equally strong anti-American feeling, and spawn a group that will kill in revenge and show the world; the so-called "Islamic State". In 2015, images capture a movement by French Muslims to sever the chain of violence and hate in the wake of the November terrorist attacks on Paris.
