Edit: I was looking at the pictures rather than watching the video. The audio explanation does give a fair treatment of the subject matter.

It's a nice idea, but the pictures about ISIS are a bit disturbing. I think it might be a good idea to stick with science and topics that aren't controversial, because otherwise it seems a bit like propaganda. Maybe I'm not used to viewing such media, but it feels like if you gave me a piece of text, I could read it and decide for myself whether or not it makes valid arguments.
However if you give me a piece of art, you are basically telling me a story whose validity I have no way of discerning (within the framework i.e. without having to do extra research). Having (what I presume to be) the ISIS emblem and a bunch of skulls around it seems like it's telling me "these guys bad", "those guys good", which is a bit authoritative for my taste and feels like it's from a dystopian classroom where we are told what to think. Everything is black or white. You're either with us or against us. There is no room in such a worldview for nuance. Perhaps this is a consequence of the medium, in which case established science (as opposed to politics) would be the topic of choice.
