DESCRIPTION:5 Broken Cameras is a deeply personal, first-hand account of non-violent 
 resistance in Bil'in, a West Bank village threatened by encroaching Israeli 
 settlements. Shot almost entirely by Palestinian farmer Emad Burnat, who 
 bought his first camera in 2005 to record the birth of his youngest son, 
 the footage was later given to Israeli co-director Guy Davidi to edit. 
 Structured around the violent destruction of each one of Burnat's cameras, 
 the filmmakers' collaboration follows one family's evolution over five 
 years of village turmoil. Burnat watches from behind the lens as olive 
 trees are bulldozed, protests intensify, and lives are lost. "I feel like 
 the camera protects me," he says, "but it's an illusion.\n\nIyad Burnat is 
 head of the Bil'in Popular Committee and a leader in the village's 
 non-violent popular resistance movement. Since 2005 citizens of Bil'in have 
 held weekly demonstrations against the building of the Israeli separation 
 wall through the community's agricultural lands, and the steady 
 encroachment of illegal settlements. The demonstrators are joined by 
 Israeli and international peace activists, and have maintained a commitment 
 to non-violent methods of resistance in spite of armed, military opposition 
 that has resulted in many injuries and some deaths.\n\nThese demonstrations 
 are the subject of the recent award-winning documentary film 5 Broken 
 Cameras, which was made by Iyad's brother, Emad Burnat.\n\nIyad was born in 
 Bil'in in September of 1973. He is married and has four children. He became 
 involved in popular resistance as a teenager, and was arrested by the 
 Israeli military for the first time at age 17. He was accused of throwing 
 stones, and imprisoned for two years. Since then he has been arrested and 
 imprisoned by the Israeli military several more times. \n\nSuggested 
 Donation $10-20\n\nSponsored by San Jose Peace and Justice Center\n
