The film is about a talkshow in which they are having a conversation about Noor, the
First female terrorist and hijacker , she was shot in the assault on the trein.

In the talkshow were : The father of Noor, Koen the old vriend of Noor who also
cooperated on the hijacking of the train, Mister van Agt the minister of justice in that
time, Yvonne an ex hostage and last but not least the man who shot Noor during the
assault.

During the talk show you see some flashbacks in which they show how Noor makes a
plan to hijack the train with some Moluccan men.

First she didn’t want to join the hijacking and she also forbid her boyfriend to join.

But she came in a fight with her dad because he didnt liked it that Noor had a
relationship with Koen. So Noor decided to join anyway in her fight for freedom for the
Moluccan.

She just wanted to proof her father that it was a good thing to fight for freedom.

During the hijacking Yvonne was put outside as an fake execution. The army founded
that the sign to begon negotiating.

They tried to stall some time and the hijackers came to know that it was certain that
they could not stop this unharmed.

In secret the Dutch government was tapping the hijackers and they could listen to all
their conversations. But even after they heard that the Moluccan didn’t want to harm
anyone the Dutch army still invaded the train with high assault.

All the hijackers got killed by the army and even Noor who was already lying on the floor
bleeding to death got shot again. Only Koen survived.

Yvonna became friends with Noor because she knew that Noor was only trying to make
a point in this, and because Noor was really nice against her.

When the train was under controle of the army Yvonne was looking for Noor, but she
couldn’t find her. In the end she saw someone lying in the end of the train. It was Noor
bleeding to death with 2 chest shots.
Then we go back to the talk show and Koen became very mad at Mister van Agt because
he still doesn’t want to take blame for what happened, and he also refuses to apologies

The last scene of the talk show contains Yvonne who gives a paper to the father of Noor
in which the last words of Noor are written down on.

“Forgive me father” In her mother language.

I would really recommend this movie because it show something about the history of
the Netherlands but in an very interesting and exciting way.

Its shows 2 sides: Present and the past, because of this you can understand beter how
everything was then and now.

The language used in this movie is just how people normally talk, not to much difficult
words.

My own opinion about this movie is that it is a very good movie because its full of
excitement. You quickly create your own opinion because it’s a neutral movie.
