I'm still in that post-amazement daze.
First, I almost never last two seconds on "story telling" documentaries (I need in-the-moment action and suspense). This still had action and suspense for two reasons:
1. The story was incredible.
2. There was plenty of original footage (I saw a review stating that this was just guys in a room talking, but that is untrue - lots of original footage).
You just can't believe that this really happened. Not with a person so high in the Hamas hierarchy.
And there was no boring build-up. I hate having to "invest" time, risking my time for an unknown pay-off. The story, editing, and people grabbed me from the beginning.
All I'm going to say is that you get the perspective of both the Hamas leader's son, and his "handler."
All you need is the capacity for reason, and at least a minimal awareness of the Israel-Palastine conflict; and you will probably enjoy this.
