Emad has
lived his whole life on the West Bank. When his fourth son is born he buys a
film camera to record his family. He ends up recording his family during the
spreading Israeli occupation of Palestinian land.
The
camera is destroyed by Israeli soldiers. He gets a new one. It’s destroyed by
Israeli soldiers. He gets a new one. Five in all. He and all his brothers spend
time in prison. His baby son gets older and learns by the age of five that
Israeli soldiers kill Palestinians.
It’s now
2024. Now the Israelis are bombing and killing hundreds of Palestinian
civilians, every day. Thousands of children, women and men have died. Thousands
of Palestinians have been forced to evacuate their homes, thousands of homes
have been destroyed. Starvation, untreated injuries and illness, blocked
emergency supplies. Is this not terrorism?
The film is from 2011. See it.
