5 Broken Cameras

13 Reviews

"The most important thing about this film is the poignant way it shows the unjust and cruel occupation of Palestine by Israeli forces. It’s also an inspiration for impecunious filmmakers looking to make an impact. The filmmaker couldn’t afford fancy graphics packages or the latest 4K camera. Instead, he used five “point-and-shoot” consumer cameras – each one smashed by Israeli forces. " - Oscar-winning director Alex Gibney

synopsis

Academy Award Nominee for Best Documentary, the critically-acclaimed 5 BROKEN CAMERAS is a deeply personal, first-hand account of life and non-violent resistance in Bil’in, a West Bank village surrounded by Israeli settlements. As the years pass in front of the camera of a Palestinian farmer, we witness his son grow from a newborn baby into a young boy who observes the world unfolding around him with the astute powers of perception that only children possess.
