Terror is waged by individuals or movements who often seek political or monetary gain through armed violence, ransom, bombings, hijacking, and other evolving forms, including cyber-terrorism. Cinema has captured the narratives of terrorism usually against soft targets and can be expressed in films such as Battle of Algiers, Michael Collins, United 93, Captain Phillips, The Siege Air Force One and others. The course is designed to understand its root causes, motivation of operatives, and sociopolitical results.
