Documentary: Leila Khaled Hijacker March 27, 2009

Bangalore Film Society in collaboration with Break Through TV presents ‘Life on Venus', a selection of the most acclaimed & award winning documentary films on women from across the globe. Synopsis:In 1969 Palestinian Leila Khaled made history by becoming the first woman to hijack an airplane. This fascinating documentary is at once a portrait of Khaled, an exploration of the filmmaker’s (Lina Makboul) own understanding of her Palestinian identity, and a complicated examination of the nebulous dichotomy between "terrorist" and "freedom fighter."
