Making of a Martyr Synopsis

On March 24th 2004, fifteen year old Hussam Abdu was apprehended at an Israeli border checkpoint with live explosives strapped around his waist. Instead of detonating the bomb, Hussam voluntarily gave himself up to the Israeli army and is now serving time in the Ha-Sharon prison for attempted murder. In the weeks that followed Hussam's arrest, news media from around the globe received conflicting reports. The Palestinian Authority claimed that Hussam had been set up by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), while the IDF maintained that Hussam was the latest example of children recruited for suicide missions by terrorist organizations.

Winner: Audience Choice Award for Best Film, 2006 United Nations Documentary Film Festival. Offical Selections: 2006 Anchorage International Film Festival, 2006 Whistler Film Festival, 2006 United Nations Film Exposition (London, England).
