Manifest Destiny
Palestinian poet Leila lives in London with her Jewish composer lover Daniel, but joins a suicide-bomb cell in Palestine. Both she and Mohammed, another member, renounce violence before their planned attacks. Leila travels to Afghanistan, while Mohammed is captured and then betrays her location to American forces, hoping to save her from a suicide mission. Leila is imprisoned at Camp X-Ray, where she dies by suicide. Mohammed retrieves her manuscript and brings it to Daniel in London; the two men are united by their grief, and Daniel begins setting Leila’s poetry to music.
