Movie Haiku:Prize-winner @ Sundance ’07: Convicted of organizing suicide bombings & other terrorist acts, Palestinian “security prisoners” are hailed as freedom fighters. Amazingly, once in Israeli prisons they have incredible freedom (especially the women) to organize, study politics, & even run for office. Physical incarceration becomes training ground for eventual statehood.
