Paradise Now

Eye opening.

Obviously, there is no justification for terrorism, but there is usually an explanation. Paradise Now follows two West Bank friends and their involvement in the continual fight between Israel and those displaced by the establishment of the Israeli state in the 1940's.

This is a powerful must-see for everyone open-minded enough not to condemn the movie's "heroes" from the beginning and empathize with both sides of a situation.
