An extraordinary work of cinematic and political activism, this Academy Award-nominated film is a firsthand account of nonviolent resistance in a West Bank village threatened by Israeli settlements. Structured around the destruction of a succession of self-taught Palestinian cameraman Emad Burnat's video cameras, “5 Broken Cameras” follows one family's evolution over five years of village turmoil.
