5 Broken Cameras

When his fourth son, Gibreel, is born in 2005, self-taught cameraman Emad Burnat, gets his first camera. At the same time in his village of Bil’in, a separation barrier is being built and the villagers begin to resist this decision. For the next years, Burnat films this non-violent struggle while at the same time recording the growth of his son. Very soon, these events begin to affect his family and his own life. Daily arrests, violent attacks, the loss of life and night raids in the village scare his family. His friends, brothers and even himself are either shot or arrested.
