April 18, 2010: Day 49 a - Special Edition: Diana and Ashira are adamant to find out the truth about Raed Abu Hamad's death while in solitary confinement at Beersheba Prison. Diana heads to Raed's home and Ashira heads to the Israeli Forensic center where the autopsy is performed. Why did the parents and the PA's Ministry of Prisoners send a Palestinian doctor and lawyer to monitor the autopsy? So was it a suicide like the Israeli Prison Authorities claimed? What did the lawyer have to say? The Israeli ambulance takes the body of Raed close to his hometown where he is moved to a Palestinian ambulance. Why is the forensic doctor checking Raed's body again? After five years away, arriving in an Israeli black bag is not the way to return back home, so his brothers wrap him in a Palestinian flag. Join Ashira in the ambulance till they reach home where Diana and the family await. How is Raed received at home? The girls stay with him through the farewells at home, a procession of thousands that takes him to the cemetery, last prayers and until he is buried.

To learn more about the culture there. I gained lot of insight. In Africa, we have quiet funerals. In the film, there was lot of emotion.
