| Summary: |
Wafa Idriss was both a nurse with the Red Crescent and an anti-Israeli occupation activist. What motivated the 28-year-old to make her mark on history not as a healer, but as a martyr and a murderer? This program uses her story as a window into the simmering standoff that exists in the embattled West Bank. Through interviews, Wafa's mother and others who knew her express their surprise and dismay at her actions, while a Jewish victim's widow and al Fatah's Marwan Barghouti add their own particular perspectives. Footage of attacks and reprisals-and of Dareen abu Aisheh, inspired to become the second female Palestinian suicide bomber-underscores the desperation felt by many Palestinians. |
