Emad Burnat documents the struggles of his West Bank neighbors and family members

Emad Burnat, a Palestinian villager, bought his first video camera when his fourth son, Gibreel, was born. At the same time, in his West Bank village, a barrier is being built and the villagers have started to resist. Through five video cameras, Emad captures different angles of his village's resistance to Israeli troops. Five Broken Cameras has received awards at the Sundance Film festival and the documentary premiered in Pittsburgh at the CMU International Film Festival.
