In 2005, Palestinian farmer Emad Burnat bought his first camera, mostly to film his youngest son. As time went by, Burnat recorded the struggle of Palestinians. With co-filmmaker Israeli Guy Davidi, they have created a history of the Palestinian people during this period, marked by the destruction of his cameras. A classic activist documentary, nominated for an Academy award.
