Abstract

Media plays a vital role to spread awareness, provide information and entertain the mass society. It exerts a great impact on human mind and nevertheless, serves as an essential medium of communication. However, focusing on the elements of media, each element carries its own importance. Moving towards the 19th and 20th Century, film and its industry has developed rapidly. The study is based on a Hollywood film related to the Abbottabad operation by the US army. The film is full of agendas and propaganda but its technicality and strategies are so crystal clear that it is impossible for one to identify the proselytisicm used throughout. Further, a chronological order of scenes are evident to portray how the message of the US- Militants is spread around the world through the film and how human minds are manipulated through this element. Moreover, a discussion and analysis of the overview is given.
