In the Name of the State opens with Iran: a country whose financing of terror can be seen as the “textbook” example of state sponsorship. But the relationship between state and terrorist is not always so clear - as the “disappeared” in Argentina and the activities of the US-backed Contras demonstrate.

The film reveals the extent of American backing of the Contras in Nicaragua and the notorious 'School of the Americas'. Another aspect of terrorism is illustrated by the terrible human tragedies resulting from Argentina's Dirty War of the late 70s and 80s. In concluding, the film briefly returns to the Middle East.
