Filmmaker Pierre Rehov went to Israel intending to have a vacation. Life
intervened.

I had the opportunity, at the last minute, to get the exclusive
interview of this candidate to suicide bombing. No television in the
world ever got that! This is the real scoop of the film, and the
scariest part is that it was shot a week ago, meaning that the
terrorist is still on the loose, waiting for an order. It was like
having access to a serial killer ready to kill his 20th victim, and
not being able to do anything about it. I believed that exposing him
was much more moral and ethical than refusing to doing it. So I sent
a team. They were taken to the terrorist with [blindfolds] on the
eyes, in very uncomfortable conditions. This terrorist is still on
the run, waiting for orders. He lives in Gaza.

In an e-mail interview with The New York Jewish Week, Rehov acknowledged
an ethical dilemma. But Israeli authorities know who the bomber was and
have him under surveillance. Production executive Lisa Magnas told
TNYJW, "He's not a randomly chosen person. He is at the top of Israel's
security list and there's no way he can cross the border into Israel
without being known."

To our benefit, Rehov came down on the side of educating the rest of us
about the life and psychology of a person we hope we will never meet.
Parts of the thesis will surprise you as Rehov deals with the societal
pressures that culminate in the willingness of a person to stand among
others and pull the cord.

This is a "small film," not distributed through a major chain. The only
theater showing it is in New York, and only for a limited time. It is
crucial for those in New York to prove that there is an audience for
such a movie in order to ensure that it be shown elsewhere.

You have nothing better to do than go to the movies.

Really.
