MOVIE REVIEW

Difficulties that faced non native producers and directors to shoot the movie

They didn’t have a watertight plan.Should have a security.Should have some very good and courageous people working with the crew.Every day they had some sort of trouble.They have a big crew that could not shoot film and run.Some problems between the crew and the Palestinians.Not one day went by without having to stop filming.To get into the area you have to get friendly with the Israeli army.Too many Palestinians, they were instantly suspicious.In Nablus, the Israeli Army invades the city almost everyday to arrest what they call the ‘Wanted’ Palestinians.

Suicide bombers have different level of education. 90% Palestinian community are Muslim. To across Israel border almost possible. Apartheid Wall across all the cities in West bank and cut the

Palestinian territories. Check points in West bank one of the significant problems. The Palestinian organization follow strict rules. The reason of Suicide bombs are religious and nationalist

motives. The Palestinian government demanded peace with Israel,

but the Palestinian looking for freeing the whole Palestine.

Film Viewing in Palestine

Film Viewing in Overseas

The movie premiered in 45 countries over the world. Telling the world the reason of suicide bombers. The film is simply meant to open a discussion, hopefully, a

meaningful discussion, about the real issues at hand.

This one of the movies that show the real conflict of the cultures when the movie directed or produced by non native people.

However, these kind of movies some time show the audience the best image for both, native and non native.

The different between the reality and the image that the movie provided.

These movies might carry out positive and negative sides. Nominate the movie for awards does not mean that the

movie on the right side.
