The document outlines a storyboard for a short film about a student who is brainwashed by her new teacher to believe that terrorism is evil. She is locked in a room and watches news footage depicting terrorism. When she returns home, everyday events like a party invitation and news reports make her paranoid that her friends and family are terrorists. After hours of reflection, she comes to believe that the government brainwashed her to make people afraid and support military action, and wants to tell others the truth about the government. However, no one believes her story and she is left alone and scared.
