An extraordinary work of both cinematic and political activism, 5 Broken Cameras is a deeply personal, first-hand account of non-violent resistance in Bil’in, a village in Palestine’s West Bank threatened by encroaching Israeli settlements and its so-called “separation barrier”. The film is shot almost entirely by Palestinian farmer Emad Burnat. Currently on a U.S. speaking tour, Emad’s brother, Iyad, will tell the stories of Bil'in and life in occupied Palestine, and talk about strategies for non-violent popular resistance with a goal of peace and prosperity for all people.

Iyad Burnat is head of the Bil'in Popular Committee and a leader of the village's non-violent popular resistance movement. Since 2005, citizens of Bil'in have held weekly demonstrations against the building of the separation wall and the encroachment of illegal settlements. Iyad will tell stories of Bil'in and life in occupied Palestine. He will discuss strategies for non-violent popular resistance with a goal of peace and prosperity for all people. $ 10 - $20 Sliding scale, no turned away for lack of funds.For more info go to: http://www.194eleven.net/iyad/

Did you know that every Friday Palestinians across the West Bank organize unarmed protests against the Israeli occupation and theft of their lands? Villages like Bil'in, Nabi Saleh, Beit Ummar, and Budrus have led the way with weekly non-violent demonstrations, supported in part by Israeli and International solidarity activists. These protests are often met with violence from Israeli settlers and military forces.

Children of the Jaguar is a campaign documentary about the struggle of the Sarayaku indigenous community of Ecuador in order to defend their human rights and the right of many other communities across the Americas. A few years ago, the government authorised an oil company to enter Sarayaku's land and drill for oil. Neither the government nor the company consulted with Sarayaku whether the project was in line with their traditions and way of life.
