Details
In the documentary film 5 Broken Cameras, Palestinian villager Emad receives his first camera when his fourth son, Gibreel, is born. The film is set in the village of Bil'in, where a separation barrier is being built, and the villagers start to resist this decision. Over a period of more than five years, Emad documents the struggle against the barrier construction, led by his two best friends.
As Emad continues to film the resistance, he also captures precious moments of Gibreel's growth. However, the conflict begins to take a toll on his family and personal life. Daily arrests and night raids terrify his family, and Emad and his loved ones are frequently subjected to violence or imprisonment. Each camera that Emad uses to document the events in Bil'in ultimately becomes damaged or destroyed, with each broken camera representing a chapter in his story.
5 Broken Cameras offers viewers a firsthand account of the hardships faced by the people of Bil'in as they fight for justice and dignity. Through the lens of Emad's cameras, the film captures the personal and emotional impact of the ongoing conflict on the lives of individuals and families. This powerful documentary sheds light on the resilience of a community in the face of adversity and showcases the power of documentary filmmaking as a tool for advocacy and storytelling.
