On January 27, 2002, Wafa Idris blew herself up in a shopping mall in Jerusalem, killing one Israeli and injuring dozens of others. Credited with being the first female martyr (shahida) of the Palestinian cause, Idris changed the face of terrorism forever. Based on first-hand interviews with the families of four women who died in suicide attacks and through discussions with more than half a dozen other women who tried and failed to die for Palestine, Army of Roses is an investigation into what motivated them to sacrifice themselves in the name of Allah..
