Followed by Q&A with director Beate Arnestad
What makes anyone want to blow themselves up for a cause? In this intimate and personal portrait we join two young female elite soldiers trained for the ultimate mission. We share their childhood experiences, their dreams and their familiesâ loss. Left behind are the mothers and a population still coming to grips with life under a conflict largely overlooked by the rest of the world.
Beate Arnestad and Morten Daae's film gives us an insight into the life of a female suicide bomber waiting every day for the call to fulfill her duty. The two girls, Dharsika and Puhalchudar belong to the Black Tigers and have trained and fought for seven years, side by side. They have killed many in the war.
My Daughter the Terrorist is a thought provoking film that reveals the normality of savagery and the banality of extreme violence.
