"Obsession" was awarded Best Feature Film at the Liberty Film Festival and also received the Special Jury Award in the Houston Worldfest International Festival. It is also an official selection in the Newport Beach Film Festival.

This fall it will be shown in the Great Lakes Film Festival and the Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival as well.

The “Obsession” documentary uses images from Arab TV, rarely seen in the West.  “Obsession” reveals an ‘insider's view' of the hatred the Radicals are teaching, their incitement of global jihad, and their goal of world domination. The film also traces the parallels between the Nazi movement of World War II, the Radicals of today, and the Western world's response to both threats. A peaceful religion is being hijacked by a dangerous foe, who seeks to destroy the shared values we stand for. The world should be very concerned.

This film is not yet rated. Parental guidance recommended.

Quotes and Reviews:

“Obsession is both scary and riveting! Each and every one of us should feel obligated to show Obsession to as many people as we can. Obsession should serve as a wake-up call to the free world to confront the threat now, before it is too late."
Joel Surnow, Executive Producer “24”

"In spite of us being firmly rooted in an age of terror, too many of our countrymen seem to be complacent; complacent, that is, until visited by the next vicious terrorist attack against America. Obsession connects the dots to reveal that these attacks are not isolated incidents executed by a random group of madmen; but the extreme manifestation of an ideology of madness that has tragically captured the hearts and souls of tens of thousands in the Islamic world. In our private screening, one of CORE's members said Obsession is the West's wakeup call. It is not. It's the wakeup call for anyone that believes in civilization and the peaceful advancement of man."

Niger Innis, National Spokesman, The Congress of Racial Equality ("CORE")

"Obsession is one of the most powerful, expertly crafted and undeniably important films I've seen this year. This courageous, utterly gripping expose' deserves the attention of every American -- and merits serious consideration for the Academy Award for Best Feature Length Documentary."

Michael Medved, Nationally syndicated radio host, film critic, and "Eye on Entertainment"
