5 Broken Cameras

There are five cameras - each with their own story. When his fourth son is born, self-taught cameraman Emad Burnat, a Palestinian villager, gets his first camera. At the same time a separation barrier is being built in his village of Bil'in and the villagers begin to resist this decision. Over the next years Burnat films this non-violent struggle and at the same time records the growth of his son. Slowly events also begin to affect his family and his own life, his friends and brothers are either shot or arrested and one after another, the cameras used to document these events are either shot at or smashed. Eventually, Burnat joins forces with Guy Davidi - an Israeli filmmaker, and together the two filmmakers create a powerful film from these five broken cameras and the stories they hold.
