The Making of a Suicide Bomber
10 minutes, 1996
Ref: 450

Suicide bombers are the nightmare of Israeli security forces. They strike fear in the hearts of all Israelis and their actions threaten to derail the entire peace process. We take an in-depth look at this most fanatical of practices. We speak with a boy who trained as a suicide bomber, the family of a successful suicide bomber and the family of the most successful trainer of these killers. Promising an after-life in paradise, the Islamic Jihad and Hamas recruit and train young men and women for martyrdom. What kind of person can be convinced to become a human bomb, how are they trained and is there an endless supply of volunteers? This film goes some way to answering these questions.
