How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

An unflinching humanization of two Palestinian men on the eve of a suicide bombing that strips away rhetoric to expose the personal desperation and moral struggle beneath an act of violence. The film refuses easy answers, instead forcing you to sit with the complexity of friendship tested by ideology and circumstance.
