I See You
“An eye for an eye would make the whole world blind”, Mahatma Gandhi. The film explores this deep philosophical concept through the eyes of a terrorist. A suicide bomber struggles with his decision on a crowded subway after he meets an innocent child and realizes the notion of the enemy isn’t that simple.
