Five
Broken Cameras,
Burnaqt/Davidi, Palestine, 2011,
[E]Arab/Hebrew EST, 94 min.
When his fourth son, Gibreel, is born,
Emad, a Palestinian villager, gets his first camera. In his village, Bil'in, a
separation barrier is being built and the villagers start to resist this
decision. For more than five years, Emad films the struggle, which is led by
two of his best friends, alongside filming how Gibreel grows. Very soon it
affects his family and his own life. Daily arrests and night raids scare his
family; his friends, brothers and himself are either shot or arrested. One
camera after another is shot at or smashed. Each of the 5 cameras tells part of
his story.
