Body Language
Written and directed by Doïna Harap in collaboration with Iolande Cadrin Rossignol
Produced by Doïna Harap, a Montreal documentary maker, this film deals with the subject of visually "reading" the body language of the terrorist. It is the first documentary to date which incorporates neuroscientists, autism specialists and psychoanalytic thinking concerning the developmental problem that terrorists bond through violence and are not developing empathy early in their lives. The documentary specifically portrays airport security at Ben-Gurion International Airport. The detection of terrorists attempting to penetrate airport security is crucial for tourism sustainability.
