Occupation 101 is a thought-provoking and powerful documentary film about the current and historical root causes of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Unlike any other film ever produced about the conflict, Occupation 101 presents a comprehensive analysis of the facts and hidden truths surrounding the never-ending controversy and dispels many of its long-perceived myths and misconceptions.

The film also details life under Israeli military rule, the role of the United States in the conflict, and the major obstacles that stand in the way of a lasting and viable peace. The roots of the conflict are explained through first-hand on-the-ground experiences from leading Middle East scholars, peace activists, journalists, religious leaders, and humanitarian workers whose voices have too often been suppressed in American and other media outlets.

The film covers a wide range of topics which include the first wave of Jewish immigration from Europe in the 1880s, the 1920 tensions, the 1948 war, the 1967 war, the first Intifada of 1987, the Oslo Peace Process, Settlement expansion, the role of the United States Government, the second Intifada of 2000, the separation barrier and the Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, as well as many heart-wrenching testimonials from victims of this tragedy.

Islam: What The West Needs To Know discusses the definition and use of violence in the Koran. One of the fundamentals within Islam is called; Nasikh or al-Nasikh wal-Mansoukh. "al-Nasikh wal-Mansoukh" (the Abrogator and the Abrogated) means that in situations where verses contradict one another, the early verses are overridden by the later verses. The chronological timing in which a verse was written determines its authority to establish policies within Islam.

It is purported that the Quranic verses that promote equality, peace and justice are more often than not overridden/nullified by later verses that validate such things as murder, terrorism and legalistic restrictions on routine human and women's rights.

This movie explains much of the existing doctrines.
