From the Guardian: One of the most heart-wrenching images from the film is of a two-year-old Jewish boy, filmed through a window. He is clearly agitated, walking in circles, looking down at the bodies of his dead parents. But perhaps most poignant of all are the recordings, taped by the Indian secret services, of the instructions delivered over the phone to the terrorists by their controllers: they tell us so much about indoctrination. “Throw some grenades, my brother, there’s no harm in throwing a few grenades. How hard can it be to throw a grenade? Just pull the pin and throw it. For your mission to end successfully, you must be killed. God is waiting for you in heaven.”
