About 5 Broken Cameras
This exceptional documentary is a deeply personal first-hand account of life and nonviolent resistance in Bil’in, a West Bank village where Israel is building a security fence. 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 five cameras tells part of his deeply personal and gripping story.
100% of ticket price funds will go towards supporting and settling Gazan families arriving in Australia via Palestinian Christians in Australia. You can also donate on their website here.
