Filmscreening: Paradise Now, a film by Hany Abu
Assad (2005)
Followed by time for discussion and
reflection
In Nablus on the West Bank, Said and Khaled, who
have volunteered to be suicide bombers, receive word it will be tomorrow - the
cell's first operation in two years. They're shaven and shorn, in black suits to
pose as settlers in Tel Aviv for a wedding
Something goes wrong at the crossing, they're separated, and the action is
postponed, long enough for renewed questioning of what they're about to do.
Suha, the well-educated and well-traveled daughter of a martyr, challenges the
action. She likes Said and has her own ideas. "Under the occupation, we're
already dead," is Khaled's analysis. Fate and God's will seem to drive Said. We
must be moral, argues Suha. Can minds change?
The AICafe is located in the Alternative
Information Center in Beit Sahour, near to Suq al Shaab (follow the signs to
Jadal Center) The AICafe is open on Tuesdays and Saturdays at 7pm. There is a
small library with political books, novels and magazines.
