5 Broken Cameras - Village of Bilin


Reading the book "The General's Son: Journey of an Israeli in Palestine" (I wrote about it here), I learned about the way people in the village of Bilin in the West Bank are opposing the settlement building on their lands. They have chosen to protest peacefully and pursue legal ways to oppose this and save their lands and village. "5 Broken Cameras" is a movie about this movement which is nominated for best Documentary Feature in the 2013 Academy Awards.
