Movie Haiku:We found nothing in MIRAL that was deliberately anti-Israeli/anti-Semitic/anti-Zionist. More than anything else, MIRAL is a tribute to Hind Husseini (Abbass). This woman created a home in the midst of madness for thousands of Palestinian children, making her a heroine whose life should be celebrated by all. Jan loved it; Rich found it worth but slow.
