Film: Terrorism, the World at Bay
Saturday, 29 Nov 1980 at 8:00 pm – Pioneer Room, Memorial Union
Investigation of the causes and effects of worldwide terrorism on people, governments, diplomacy and political decision-making. Originally broadcast live, the program seeks solutions to this international problem by incorporating segments from a number of locations in Europe and the mideast and brings together government leaders, academic experts, journalists and individuals with direct personal experience in terrorist activity. The program surveys terrorist incidents such as the massacre at the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich, the Entebbe Rescue, the Hanasi Takeover in Washington D.C., and takes up with questions of how negotiations should be carried out with terrorist groups and the involvement of the news media.Part of the World Affairs Series
