5 BROKEN CAMERAS
5 Broken Cameras shares an intimate personal vision
and visceral, first-person story of non-violent resistance
in Bil’in, a West Bank village threatened by encroaching
Israeli settlement. This collaboration between Palestinian
farmer-filmmaker Emad Burnat and Israeli filmmaker
Guy Davidi begins when Emad buys his first camera to
film his fourth son’s arrival. That same week, he captures
footage of bulldozers ripping out the village’s olive trees
to make way for a separation wall. And so begin the six-year,
five-camera parallel arcs of his son’s growth and the
genesis of an international resistance movement. Emad
keeps filming despite the dangers, allowing the personal
to transcend politics and tell the deeper human story.
In Hebrew and Arabic, with English subtitles.
