Prison and Paradise Movie (2011)

‘Prison and Paradise’ was produced in 2010. It was screened as a World Premier in Dubai International Film Festival 2010. The 2002 Bali bombing has opened rooms for major debate and fore controversies regarding jihad, Islamic political movements, terrorism and human rights issues. The film follows Noor Huda Ismail, a journalist at The Washington Post and former room-mate of Utomo Pamungkas – one of perpetrators of the 2002 Bali bombing – as he meets both perpetrators' and victims' families. We find that the bombings in Indonesia have created many orphaned children, both in perpetrators' as well as victims' families. With incredible access to those who masterminded the bombings, Noor Huda Ismail has made a compelling and important film.
