Synopsis by Jason Buchanan
In this collection of 16 vignettes designed to pay tribute to slain Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh, 17 directors explore such issues as the complicated nature of Western democracy, freedom of expression, and the manner in which countless lives can be changed in the flash of a muzzle. These vignettes stress the importance of open debate, explore the profound effect that racism can have on youth, and pick up where van Gogh left off by exploring the effects of Islamic doctrine on the female gender.
