Leila Khaled, Highjacker

In 1969, Leila Khaled, an attractive 24-year-old Palestinian, made headlines as the first woman to hijack an airplane. A year later, after six operations to alter her identity, she did it again. Despite reports of Khaled's death some years ago, filmmaker Lina Makboul found the former PFLP militant living openly in Jordan, where she remains politically active and unrepentant. "A fascinating journey of a woman" (Jewish Independent), LEILA KHALED, HIGHJACKER provocatively posits whether one person's terrorist can be another's freedom fighter.
