This documentary recorded for Dutch television penetrates the taboo of discussing the influence of the pro-Israel lobby in the US and how it affects Americas foreign policies.

Finding people in the US who were willing to talk about this topic had been very difficult for the filmmakers. When the documentary was broadcasted on Dutch public television in April 2007 it was completely ignored by the TV guides and newspapers. Disappointed by the lack of responses the filmmakers decided to put a few fragments of the documentary on youtube. Two days later a re-edited version which included antisemitic statements appeared on youtube created by members of the extreme right movement. The filmmakers were not happy with this development but by then the documentary had attracted the attention of various groups critical of Israel and the war in Iraq. At the moment some different versions of the documentary still seem to be floating around on the internet, this is the original version with the narrative and with English subtitles.

According to the filmmaker: "To which extent am I not going to say something because the extreme right will use it to support their own views? It is the duty of serious media to report about this subject."
