To co-incide with Oscars night, Panorama takes a look at Hollywood.
Many people already thought that the atrocities of September 11th reminded them of some movies. Panorama takes this idea a step further and asks whether Hollywood may have been better at predicting the terrorist attacks than the Pentagon.
What is Hollywood's role in portraying terrorism?
Does it have a duty to raise awareness of possible attacks? Or do its portrayals encourage and give ideas to the terrorists?
What are its methods when researching such films?
Do you think it is right that Hollywood's imagination should be used to help prevent future attacks?
