Terrorist on Trial: The United States vs. Salim Ajami (1988)
alternate name
I have it on DVD (in Australia), but it is titled 'In the Hands of the Enemy', and copyrighted 1994. I thought the producers were very brave to take on a subject such as this, and the script, direction and acting is superb all round. It is very realistic, and you can imagine it happening now, particularly with the current world situation. It is a very entertaining movie, and I would recommend it to any one 13 or 15 and over, as it may disturb some younger viewers - you remember how hard it was to explain 9/11 to most kids. It would also be a great movie for teachers to show in class, being great for social studies classes, legal studies or English classes, and would also be good to show for non-educational related purpose in any fun lesson. This is possibly the role that won Sam Waterston his role in Law and Order, and I would recommend fans of that show watch this movie, as the characters are close.
