HBO to show film by Stone on Mideast
LOS ANGELES - HBO and director Oliver Stone are going to take a second
shot. Last month, HBO shelved Stone's potentially controversial
documentary on Cuban leader Fidel Castro, but on June 5, the cable
network will air Stone's latest nonfiction effort, ''Persona Non
Grata.''
Being shown as part of HBO's ''America Undercover'' series, ''Persona
Non Grata'' seems likely to stir things up just as much as the Castro
film. The documentary, shot in March 2002 in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, and
Ramallah, tackles the Middle East conflict head-on.
The film features interviews with former Israeli prime ministers
Benjamin Netanyahu, Ehud Barak, and Shimon Peres as well as talks with
masked members of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, Hamas spokesman Hasan
Yosef, and several European diplomats. Stone and his crew attempted to
interview Yasser Arafat, but were instead caught up in the violence
that followed an attack by a Palestinian bomber in what has been called
the Passover Massacre.
Stone directed with Vincent Maraval and Alvaro Longoria executive
producing.
