Selections from the film documentary. Political analyst Nafeez Mossadeq Ahmed discusses the 7 interconnected global crises we are undergoing. This week we'll focus on economic instabiliy and terrorism. Old film clips brighten the thoughtful commentary. Of particular interest: how (and why) the invasion of Afghanistan was planned well before 9-11-2001.
