"Filmmaker Emad Burnat chronicles a five-year period in his home town of Bil'in, a Palestinian village in Israeli-occupied West Bank. Burnat had acquired a video camera to trace his son's childhood, but soon he was turning it on friends who were mounting nonviolent demonstrations. Five of Burnat's cameras were destroyed. But each camera captured a distinct chapter, not only in Burnat's life and that of his son's, but also in the protest. The destroyed cameras themselves become largely unseen characters; their pixelated, fragmented, ultimately blank images create an eloquent visual grammar of cyclical violence and loss. Burnat and codirector Davidi insist that filming is a form of healing and survival. Burnat's on his sixth camera now. And it's still working." - Ann Hornaday, Washington Post.
