Synopsis "The year's most insightful andiunvarnished look at theimotivations of terrorism." -- John Anderson, Newsday Saïd and Khaled are walking time bombs. With explosives strapped to their bodies, the two young Palestinians slip into Israel, planning a suicide mission in Tel Aviv. Can anything or anyone change their minds? Paradise Now - sweepingly powerful and intricately detailed, highly acclaimed and widely controversial - tells the story of these two lifelong friends and their mission of doom.

Empire Review This Side Of Paradise - 3 out of 5  (4/19/2006) Paradise Now, an Oscar nominee this past year for Best Foreign Film, drew cries of protest from the Jewish community and others because it "humanized" the plight of two Palestinian suicide bombers depicted in the movie. Which is a shame, because this is the kind of film that every citizen of Israel should watch...because if one can't understand their "enemy," what hope is there of ever achieving peace?
