DOOM SPIRAL Shown: an illustrated cycle with arrows in between each step Long historical conflict leads to a nation confining a vast poor population in the name of security (shown: people behind a wall) Militant group claiming to represent this population brutally attacks innocent people (shown: militant with gun) State responds with escalation that punishes civilians (government official: We will deny them food, water, and electricity, and lay siege to their cities.) Densely populated areas already suffering from humanitarian disaster reduced to rubble (city being bombed) Kids grow up knowing nothing but death and destruction (boy standing in rubble with dead body in background) Which makes some open to extremism (kid is now a militant) Back to beginning
