taken off.<br>
The destination was Tel Aviv, Israel. <br>
<br>
A short while later the woman leaves her seat and threatens the crew
with hand grenades and enters the cockpit. 24 year old Leila Khaled had
just completed her first hijacking and at the same time she became the
first woman ever to hijack an airplane.</span></span></p>

story about an extraordinary woman and her journey, the jury decided to
award
Lina Makboul´s film, Leila Khaled Hijacker the award for Best Film
because of
its nuanced politics of nationhood and gender. This film about a
Palestinian
woman hijacker challenges our assumptions </span>about those who
resort to violent means in response to oppression and gives us access
to the politics of one of the most troubled regions of the twentieth
century. It also complicates the current discourse on Islam and
terrorism by its deliberation on the meanings of terms such as
"terrorist", interrogating and asking if one person's terrorist could
be another's freedom fighter. Especially relevant in the context of
today's highly polarized conflicts in Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine and
closer home in Kashmir, this self-reflexive film echoes in its
treatment, the complexity of its arguments, using evocative imagery
both verité as well as reconstructed as well as archival footage in an
extremely creative manner."<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">When
asked if she was a terrorist, Leila replied<i style="">,
" Whenever I hear this word I ask another question. Who planted
terrorism
in our area? Some came and took our land, forced us to leave, forced us
to live
in camps. I think this is terrorism. Using means to resist this
terrorism and
stop it's effects---this is called struggle."</i></span><span
