5 Broken Cameras

"5 Broken Cameras," is a joint Palestinian-Israeli-Dutch-French production that presents the story of Burnat, a resident of the West Bank village of Bil'in. Over a period of more than six years, Burnat documented the struggle against the occupation waged by two of his good friends, while also filming his son growing up. The struggle soon begins to influence Burnat's life as well as that of his family. Daytime arrests and nighttime raids strike fear into the family; his friends and brothers are arrested, injured by gunfire or taken into custody and imprisoned. Camera after camera is destroyed or shot up, and each one symbolizes a chapter in his life.
