Diameter of the Bomb
Steven Silver & Andrew Quigley, 2005, 82 min


Part thriller and part mystery, Diameter of the Bomb follows Israeli
police, secret service, and military as they unsuccessfully try to
prevent and then mercilessly track down the terrorist cell behind a
2002 suicide bombing. Diameter features forensic footage released for
the first time by the Israeli army, Hamas military video and the
bomber's home movies, as well as stunning footage shot across Israel
and the Palestinian territories. With unprecedented access, the
filmmakers took their cameras inside Israeli prisons, commando units,
Palestinian refugee camps and hospital trauma wards, capturing
countless everyday situations on both sides of the border to follow
the figurative diameter of the bomb and its trajectory of human
suffering.
