Paradise Now (2005)

Two childhood friends living in Nablus are recruited to carry out suicide bombings in Tel Aviv. On the day chosen for the attack, they make it through the military checkpoint, but are forced to flee from guards, separating for the remainder of the day with neither knowing what happened to the other. It’s a delicate, human telling of the two young men’s histories and the conditions in their lives that lead them to this point without necessarily glorifying the choices they have made.
