Now, for those unsatisfied with the hours of sensational television coverage, and the endless talk shows featuring "terrorism experts," a powerful new film, HUMAN WEAPON, provides the first in-depth, sober examination of the complexity of the suicide bombing phenomenon.

Filmed in Iran, Lebanon, Sri Lanka, Israel, Palestine, Europe and the United States, HUMAN WEAPON weaves together dramatic footage, never seen before, with interviews with key militants whose organizations opted to use the weapon of suicide bombing as part of their strategy. It supplements these interviews with those of failed suicide bombers who are alive, victims and families of victims, and investigators and analysts around the world.

HUMAN WEAPON is primarily not concerned with suicide bombing as a local phenomenon in a particular conflict. Rather, it strives to understand the recent history, and how the introduction of this new weapon has unleashed a different kind of warfare, whose impact we are yet to grasp.
