Hezbollah's Propaganda War - Part 1

VICE News

Hezbollah has built a multi-million dollar theme park celebrating its military victories over Israel.

Host Ryan Duffy heads to Lebanon to visit this bizarre tourist site to learn how this group that started as a ragtag militia in the 1980s has skillfully used propaganda to transform itself into a military and political force to be reckoned with, and how anti-Hezbollah groups are trying to compete in this war of words.
