On the heels of President Donald Trump's executive order limiting immigration from Iraq,Lee Do Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen, Showtime has announced a new documentary that will explore "home-grown Jihadism, how young men are radicalized to commit violent acts of terrorism and what can be done to prevent it."
The film, which has been given the working title American Jihad, will premiere on March 11 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Showtime, as well as through the cable network's online service Showtime Anytime, and via On Demand. The project will serve as the closing night film at the Big Sky Documentary Film Festival in late February.
Here's the film's description, per a Showtime release:
American Jihad offers an inside look at Jihadism from former Jihadists and those deeply affected by its practices. By analyzing the strategic outreach and specifically online tactics that terrorists employ in order to reach susceptible members of society, experts weigh in on what actions those in power can take to help prevent the phenomenon of domestic Jihadism from occurring.
The documentary also explores the impact of Anwar al-Awlaki, a U.S. citizen identified by the CIA as an al-Qaeda leader whose charismatic, highly personal recruitment tactics were responsible for influencing other Americans to the Jihadist cause. As the first American-born terrorist targeted and killed by a U.S. drone strike overseas, his death held worldwide political implications and invigorated the momentum of U.S. radicalism.
According to the premium cabler, the doc was inspired by Peter Berg's feature film Patriots Day, about a community's courageous response to the homegrown terrorism that precipitated the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing.

The film is executive produced by Alex Gibney, the Oscar-winning director of Scientology documentary Going Clear, andZero Days, a doc about the unintended spread of the Stuxnet malware. The project's other executive producers include Stacey Offman, Michael Radutzky, Jeff Fager, Matt Goldberg, Brandon Carroll and John Logan Pierson. Richard Perello serves as co-executive producer.
