From palestinianrightssacregion at list.omsoft.com Tue Jan 1 15:39:18 2013 From: palestinianrightssacregion at list.omsoft.com (The list serve provides alerts and action notices related to Palestinian rights in the Sacramento area.) Date: Tue, 1 Jan 2013 15:39:18 -0800 Subject: 5 Broken Cameras Sacramento exclusive showing & SodaStream petition Message-ID: 5 Broken Cameras This coming weekend, Jan, 4, 5 & 6th, the Sundance prize winner, 5 Broken Cameras will be shown in Sacramento. An extraordinary work of both cinematic and political activism, 5 Broken Cameras is a deeply personal, first-hand account of non-violent resistance in Bil'in, a West Bank village threatened by encroaching Israeli settlements. Shot almost entirely by Palestinian farmer Emad Burnat, who bought his first camera in 2005 to record the birth of his youngest son, the footage was later turned into a galvanizing cinematic experience by co-directors Guy Davidi and Burnat. Structured around the violent destruction of a succession of Burnat's video cameras, the filmmakers' collaboration follows one family's evolution over five years of village turmoil. Burnat watches from behind the lens as olive trees are bulldozed, protests intensify, and lives are lost. Iyad Burnat, a non-violence resistance leader from Palestine's West Bank, will speak after the film on Jan 4 & 5th. Schedule: --Friday, Jan 4, 2013, 7pm.
