A powerful and provocative film, ‘Paradise Now’ focuses on the final 24 hours in the lives of two Palestinian men who are about to undertake a suicide bombing in Tel Aviv. Director Hany Abu-Assad’s film builds up through Said (Kais Nasheef) and Khaled’s (Ali Suliman) final farewells to their loved ones and their approach to the Israeli border. But most importantly Abu-Assad unravels the human emotions and political situation behind the simplistic stereotypes of ‘terrorists’.
