The film is a deeply personal first-hand account of life and nonviolent resistance in Bil'in, a West Bank village where Israel was building a security fence. Palestinian Emad Burnat bought his first camera in 2005 to record the birth of his youngest son who coincidentally was born at the same time Israel was constructing a wall that would separate his village from an Israeli settlement. Because the wall was being built on their family farm and not on settlement land, there were repeated demonstrations and conflicts. The home movies became a Palestinian farmer's chronicle of his nonviolent resistance to the actions of the Israeli army. Nominated for a 2013 Oscar, the film was first shown in the U.S. on the 2013 PBS POV series.
