This movie follows the story about two Palestinian civilians who work together at a car mechanic. One is named Said and the other is named Khaled. After Khaled gets fired from his job, he and Said decide to perform a suicide bombing in Tel-Aviv. After their first attempt fails, they reconsider in the way to their second attempt. Khaled is talked out of it by a girl named Suha, who was the daughter of a martyr. As they are about it board the bus on the way to a site, Khaled attempts to talk Said out if it as well. Said manages to get the taxi to come back, but once Khaled gets in, he closes the door and tells him to drive off, leaving Said to do the bombing alone. This movie really opened my eyes to what else is going on in the aya knew there was some sort of struggle going on in that area but I never knew exactly what it was. This movie obviously made me see that and got me to do more research on the Israeli-Palestinian history. In general, for me, it's really cool to see how the world is all over. Also, considering that in this conflict, the US is siding with the Israelis, but this movie took it to the viewpoint of the Palestinians and did a pretty good job of showing how they feel and their reasons behind what's going on.
