Imad Bornatt, Palestinian film-maker from Bil’in Village, occupied Palestine, presented his multi-award-winning, Oscar-nominated “5 Broken Cameras” at the UN headquarters, Feb 19. His stunning documentary was met with a standing ovation in the crowded conference room.
Both Imad’s moving documentary and his answers during Q&A following the screening convey the humanity and great loss of the Palestinians of Bil’in, and of course of all of occupied Palestine.
An utterly moving and powerful documentary, highly recommend that you view it and screen it for anyone who will watch.
