Budrus: Award-Winning Film on Palestinian Non-Violent Struggle

Budrus is an award winning feature documentary film about a Palestinian community organizer, Ayed Morrar, who united local Fatah and Hamas members, along with Israeli supporters, in a non-violent movement to save his village of Budrus from destruction by Israel's Separation Barrier. When his teenage daughter, Iltezam, organizes a women's contingent that quickly moves to the front lines, the non-violent movement energizes and has become a force in the Occupied Territories that is still gaining ground today.
