Paradise Now

Director: Hany Abu-Assad

Cast: Ali Suliman, Kais Nachef, Lubna Azabal

Cert: 12

An examination into the nature of terrorism: is it a worthy, God-sent cause, a Holy War or just plain murder?

Two suicide mission volunteers set out on a mission that begins to come unstuck, leaving them to ponder on what they are doing, and why.

It is a powerful and provoking film … and it leaves the audience to judge the chief characters and their motives.
