Advocates 4 Justice invites you to join us for a screening of the Academy Award-nominated documentary 5 Broken Cameras and a conversation with Palestinian human rights activist Iyad Burnat.
Filmed in the West Bank village of Bil’in, 5 Broken Cameras tells the story of a community confronting the loss of its land through nonviolent protest. Told through the lens of a Palestinian family, the film documents years of demonstrations, military raids, arrests, and the daily realities of life under occupation. The result is an intimate and powerful record of both hardship and perseverance.
Following the film, attendees will hear directly from Iyad Burnat, a co-founder and leader of the Bil’in Committee Against the Wall. Burnat’s work and the story of his family helped bring international attention to Bil’in’s grassroots movement and its commitment to nonviolent resistance.
At Advocates 4 Justice, we believe education is the first step toward meaningful action. By creating opportunities to hear directly from those living through injustice, we hope to encourage deeper understanding, informed discussion, and greater engagement on issues affecting Palestinians and other communities facing discrimination and inequality around the world.
We hope you will join us for this opportunity to learn, reflect, and participate in an important conversation.
