| SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
If Morgan Spurlock has learned anything from over 30 years
of movie-watching, it's that if the world needs saving, it's
best done by one lone man willing to face danger head on to
take it down, action hero style.
So, with no military experience, knowledge or expertise,
he sets off to do what the CIA, FBI and countless bounty hunters
have failed to do: find the world's most wanted man. Why take
on such a seemingly impossible mission? Simple - he wants
to make the world safe for his soon-to-be born child. But,
before he finds Osama bin Laden, he first needs to learn where
he came from, what makes him tick, and most importantly, what
exactly created bin Laden to begin with.
In WHERE IN THE WORLD IS OSAMA BIN LADEN?, Oscar nominated
filmmaker Morgan Spurlock takes on a franchise even more lethal
than McDonald's ... Al Qaeda. And after this real life action
thriller is over, the world may never be the same.
Following bin Laden's trail through some of the most dangerous
places in the world, Spurlock encounters both the rational
and the radical faces of the Middle East. He interviews many
people who embrace him on the streets and welcome him into
their homes, often gaining impressions that sharply contrast
with the conventional media images of the region. Spurlock
finds they're not that different from American families, sharing
the same hopes and fears for their children that he has for
his own.
In a world where we are constantly being told that we're
on the verge of the ultimate showdown between good and evil,
Spurlock risks life and limb to uncover the truth about Osama
bin Laden. But along the way, he discovers the lines that
divide us aren't nearly as black and white as the heroes and
villains we see in the Westerns.
