Palestinian Film Looks at Suicide Bombers
by indieWIRE (September 6, 2005)
As a Palestinian director, Hany Abu-Assad fully recognized he was stepping into a political minefield. By making a feature film about two young Palestinians who volunteer to become suicide bombers, he risked being accused either of glorifying terrorism or of betraying resistance to the Israeli occupation. The solution he found was to tell the story of “Paradise Now” as realistically as possible, but from a human point of view. Alan Riding profiles the director and “Paradise Now” in the New York Times (free subscription required to view entire article).
