5 Broken Cameras is a documentary on a Palestinian farmer's chronicling his nonviolent resistance to the actions of the Israeli army. I'll keep this short since documentaries are not my strong suit when it comes to reviewing. The documentary is a very personal experience through the perspective of farmer and family man Emad. We get a good idea of how it feels like to be protesting in Bil'in and Emad life struggles. The footage is rough showing acts violence (some deaths occur on camera) against nonviolent protester (at least according to the narrator). The footage presented gives an understanding the consequences of the occupation, the suffering of the other side, the dangers of the status-quo and of the lack of progress in the peace process. It suffers from not having any kind of historical overview and spend too little on discussing politics. So for anyone who's not familiar with this event will receive minor information. Also some summarization on "The Nakba" (which I've included in the next paragraph) would have been welcome since both are similar in how the people are struggling. At it best we feel like we're right alongside protesting and it worst it feels like watching someone bad vacation videos. 5 Broken Cameras is a moving documentary from the point of view those suffering though not an informative one to make everything clear for you. Historical Note: The Nakba (or 1948 Palestinian Exodus in the US) was a time when almost 80% (or 50% according to Rashid Khalidi) of Palestine was taken over, and the population in many cities and villages expelled and made into refugees. Hundreds of villages were ethnically cleansed, and several of them today have Israeli Jews living in the old houses owned by Palestinians (not having paid for them of course). These events of the past are similar to what occur in "Five Broken Cameras". This historical note hopefully provides context to why this protest holds such importance for the people of Palestine or informs those not familiar with "The Nakba".
