Palestine 2013

Details IMDB

Seen 1 April 2014

Ratings from other sources
IMDB 7.7/10
Rogerebert 3.5/4

A young Palestinian freedom fighter agrees to work as an informant after he's tricked into an admission of guilt by association in the wake of an Israeli soldier's killing










My ratings 7.5/10

My impressions:

Loyalty, love, betrayal
A dangerous mix

Enduring the physical and emotional torment
At the hands of the known enemy
At the hands of an unknown
Leaves a hardened heart
Until it is all explained

There was a reason for the actions
Assumptions made then
Was erroneous and costly

Who would have known
There was a much more powerful hand
Holding the strings, pulling and tugging

To whatever direction it desires

Victims all
