Leila Khaled was the first woman to hijack a plane. In 1969, she showed her grenades to the terrified passengers by order of the Che Guevara commando unit of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP). Through the ensuing media bombardment, she put the Palestinian nation on the global map. The striking 24-year-old Leila became a hero to many Palestinians, including the Swedish/Palestinian teenager Lina Makboul, who is now a filmmaker. At least Leila dared to do something, Lina thought at the time. She visits Leila 35 years later with a camera, and finds a woman who does not regret anything. INCREDIBLE STORY and Id like to share it with all the REVOLUTIONARY wombmen (and lions) whom I admire dearly. May we act in like manner should the need ever arise.
