The film is a deeply personal portrayal that chronicles a Palestinian farmer’s nonviolent resistance to the actions of the Israeli army.
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 camera tells a part of his story.
Nominated as best feature-length documentary for an Oscar.
Palestinian-Israeli-French co-production. 90 minutes.
On Friday 31st
