Join J Street U for a screening of 5 Broken Cameras followed by a discussion (with free pizza!) This film is “an extraordinary work of both cinematic and political activism…a deeply personal, first-hand account of non-violent resistance in Bil’in, a West Bank village threatened by encroaching Israeli settlements.” This documentary, shot by Palestinian farmer Emad Burnat, gives one personal story of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and the violent destruction and political turmoil Burnat witnessed through his cameras, five of which were broken over his years of filming.
