5 BROKEN CAMERAS, a documentary is part of the programme (R)EVOLUTION which focuses on universal themes like resistance and freedom, and which shines a light on the importance of cinema as a tool for giving a voice to the oppressed.

Emad Burnat, a Palestinian farmer from Bil'in, bought his first camera in Protected content the birth of his fourth son. What starts as an attempt to capture nice family memories, slowly changes into a powerful report of a personal and collective conflict when Israelian evictions strike his village. Burnat documents the tension between villagers and Israelian soldiers and shows the impact of the Israelian oppression on Burnat's family. While his family suffers under daily arrests and nightly raids, his cameras get damaged again and again through the violent outbursts around him. Despite threats and personal offers, he keeps filming. Burnat tells another part of his story with every new camera he purchases.
5 BROKEN CAMERAS is a poignant portrait of courage and perseverance in times of big crisis.
