Highly acclaimed war movie The Attack takes a new look at the affect of suicide bombers.
The foreign film follows Amin Jaafari, a successful Israeli Palestinian surgeon. He’s fully assimilated into Tel Aviv society, with a loving wife (Reymonde Amsellem), exemplary career and many Jewish friends.
But his life is turned upside down after a suicide bombing in a restaurant leaves 17 people dead, and the Isreali police tell Amin that his wife not only died but was also the suicide bomber. Shattered, Amin leaves the security of his adopted homeland to enter the Palestinian territories to find the zealots who recruited his wife.
Based on the award-winning and best-selling novel by Yasmina Khadra
