Miral is this the face of a terrorist?

From Julian Schnabel, Academy-Award?-nominated director of The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, comes Miral, the story of four women whose lives intertwine in the starkly human search for justice, hope, and reconciliation amid a world overshadowed by conflict, rage, and war. The story begins in war-torn Jerusalem in 1948 when Hind Husseini (Hiam Abbass of MUNICH, THE VISITOR) opens an orphanage for refugee children that quickly becomes home to 2,000 orphans. One of the children is seventeen-year-old Miral (Freida Pinto of SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE) who arrived at the orphanage 10 years earlier, following her mother's tragic death. On the cusp of the Intifada resistance, Miral is assigned to teach at a refugee camp where she falls for a fervent political activist, Hani (Omar Metwally of RENDITION). Soon she finds herself in a personal battle that mirrors the greater dilemma around her and she is forced to decide between fighting like those before her or following Mama Hind's defiant belief that education will pave a road to peace.

But the success of her peace-through-education institution is tested when pupil Miral gets a taste of radical politics in the region's refugee camps."

  • "Jérusalem, 1948. Hind Husseini recueille un groupe d'orphelins victimes de la guerre et crée l'institut Dar Al Tifel. Trente ans plus tard, Miral arrive à l'école de Hind suite à la mort tragique de sa mère. Elle grandit dans l'enceinte protectrice de Dar Al Tifel mais à l'âge de 16 ans, alors qu'éclate l'Intifada, Miral est envoyée comme enseignante dans un camp de réfugiés. Elle s'éprend alors d'Hani, un activiste politique et se retrouve face à un dilemme déchirant : céder à la révolte et s'engager dans la voie de la violence ou oser croire, avec Mama Hind, que seule l'éducation peut déboucher sur une paix durable. . Avec Freida Pinto, Hiam Abbass, Willem Dafoe, Vanessa Redgrave, Alexander Siddig, Yasmine Al Massri, Ruba Blal, Omar Metwally, Stella Schnabel."
  • "Miral is the story of a Palestinian girl coming of age amidst the war zone of the Israeli -- Arab conflict -- unflinchingly told through the perspective of Miral (Freida Pinto, Slumdog Millionaire) herself. Following the death of her troubled mother, Miral's father (Alexander Siddig) is forced to entrust her to the orphanage of Hind Husseini (Hiam Abbass), a woman whose commitment to peace through education has a profound impact on the maturing young woman as her epic journey to self-esteem and social consciousness proves both harrowing and hopeful. Also starring Willem Dafoe and Vanessa Redgrave."
