Documentary proof of the theft of Palestinian land by Israel and the illegal spread of Israeli settlements.

A picture's worth a thousand words.

The film is almost entirely in Arabic. Bonus material is in Hebrew and English. My summary of the film is really a long review. Who has noticed the absence of Palestinian civil police for crowd control? Palestinian civil police…

Very interesting. Learned a lot about conflict in the Middle East. Seems so overwhelming yet somehow they continue to protest for what is legally theirs year after yea & despite multiple tragic deaths. Although its just a tiny village they…

Total translation film. Interesting to see the interaction between West Bank and Israeli settlers. Leads me to more or less believe this action is going on all over the Middle East (land grabs with military force). Sad state of…

Outstanding and heart breaking. A must watch for these times as Israel commits genocide in Gaza. :(

Rarely does one witness years of sustained courage and resourcefulness as demonstrated by this videographer. His fellow citizens remind me of Gandhi and M.L. King, Jr. and their constituents attempting to practice non-violent resistance…

It took me a while to get into this film but by the end, you really feel for the characters. It was pretty powerful I thought.

Excellent narration! The English subtitles are fluent and accurate translations. The 5 broken cameras (and the circumstances of their breaking) frame the events of the documentary, and it's an effective conceit, but not the real focus of…

This movie was entertaining and interesting but not one of my favorite for this year.

Wow, this documentary really opened my eyes! Yes, the Jewish people have been mistreated by Arafat's rule, but he's long since dead. What Israel is doing is (a) illegal and (b) completely immoral, given what is shown by the 5 broken…

An interesting portrait of a Palestinian community trying to resist Israel's illegal occupation of their land (sponsored by American tax-payer funded Hummers, CATs, and guns). I suppose you could call it one-sided, but then you'd have to…

I portrayal of the other side of the story. Palestinians are no different than anyone else. They are not terrorists; they are just trying to defend and retain what was theirs and what should be theirs. They are families trying to survive…

I felt the film was a one sided portrayal of Palestine issue ignoring totally Israel's side story. I am also appalled by the fact that the camera man (director) and his wife exposes their 4 year old child to these violent demonstrations…
