Arafat Dies
To Watch
At IFILM:
Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh (yes, that van Gogh) was assassinated November 2, 2004, by a 26-year-old extremist Muslim of Dutch-Moroccan descent. The current theory is that he was taken down for his critical look at the treatment of Muslim women. It’s not a documentary, but a metaphorical look at the harsh realities of their lives.
