France 2005 – Irish Premiere– Official Selection

A panning shot follows a wall-painting. This 'trompe l'oeil' painting actually represents the landscape behind the wall. A wall recently built in Jerusalem ...

It is a grey and drab obstacle, the wall that the Israelis have built to isolate the Palestinian areas around Jerusalem. A driver passing the object unveils a mural that attempts to make us forget the new situation. The illustration seems to come to life.

From Hell To Heaven
By Khaled Abu Ajamia

Palestine 2005
Official Selection
Irish Premiere

A 17-year-old Palestinian girl arrives at a large shopping mall in Israel wearing a belt of explosives. At the last minute, she decides not to press the button. How did she manage to persuade a military group to prepare her for a suicide operation? What lies behind her decision to be a suicide bomber, and what makes her change her mind?

Filmmaker, Khaled Abu Ajamia, 43, worked as a cameraman for local and international media in Bethlehem until 2002, when he was finally given an opportunity to leave his refugee camp. He decided to travel around Europe & document how Palestinians how were exiled after the siege.

Khaled is now in asylum in Ireland and at risk from both Israel & Palestinians extremists after making this film. He has two films currently in production, one about local hidden history in Dundrum, and the other about Munich in 1972 (Windows in Rome ), which presents the other side to Spielberg's last film.
