2011, Movie, 1h 30min

Five broken cameras – and each one has a powerful tale to tell. Embedded in the bullet-ridden remains of digital technology is the story of Emad Burnat, a farmer from the Palestinian village of Bil’in, which famously chose nonviolent resistance when the Israeli army encroached upon its land to make room for Jewish colonists. Emad buys his first camera in 2005 to document the birth of his fourth son, Gibreel. Over the course of the film, he becomes the peaceful archivist of an escalating struggle as olive trees are bulldozed, lives are lost, and a wall is built to segregate burgeoning Israeli settlements.

...er personlig frem for politisk og derudover er en visuel mavepuster sprængfyldt med autenticitet i modsætning til andre sobre, men tørre skildringer af konflikten.

What is Five Broken Cameras about? Toggle content

In the village of Bil'in, Palestine, a young father named Emad Burnat begins filming his family's life and the resistance movement against Israeli occupation with a camera he purchased in 2005. Over the next five years, he documents the nonviolent struggle led by two of his best friends as they fight against the seizure of their land and the construction of a separation barrier. Emad's camera captures the growth of his son Gibreel and the impact of the conflict on his family and community. As the events escalate, five of Emad's cameras are destroyed by the Israeli army, but each one tells a powerful story of resilience and resistance. In 2009, Emad collaborates with Israeli filmmaker Guy Davidi to create a powerful film that exposes the reality of life under occupation and the power of nonviolent activism.
