Dig into the complexities of terrorism and discover that nothing is ever what it seems. We revisit six acts of terror since World War II using first-hand interviews, archival footage and reconstructions to piece together what exactly happened during those horrific moments in history. The meaning of these terrorist attacks only becomes apparent when looking at them from multiple perspectives, by putting them in a historical context and most importantly through forensic research with a keen eye for the economics of terrorism. Leading terrorism experts give testimony on how terrorism has changed over the years and how the process of radicalization and de-radicalization works. In Terror we ask the questions: What makes someone a terrorist and who exactly determines what a terrorist is?
