Israeli filmmaker Natalie Assouline tells Soumya Mukerji what it took to peel the woman free from the suicide bomber while filming her documentary on female Palestinian terror suspects

Brides of Allah is a film shot entirely in the Sharon prison on the outskirts of Tel Aviv, over two years. Israeli filmmaker Natalie Assouline would spend her entire day, three times a week, building relationships with and interviewing Palestinian women convicted of suicide bomb attacks. Her Jewish identity will label her the outsider even if she visited them for a decade, Assouline admits. Untiring in justifying their actions on camera, some of these women have been pushed further down the fundamentalist slope by hardliners within the prison.

Natalie Assouline hasn't kept in touch with any of the inmates she filmed
