So I must allocate time to actually speak on something of substance on this little blog of mine. I just watched this documentary called "5 Broken Cameras" on HuluPlus (I think it's also available on Netflix) and wanted to share.
It's definitely one of the more authentic documentaries I've seen and is told by a Palestinian man named Emad Burnat who has filmed the struggles his people continuously face in the occupation of their land by Israelis. This film is interesting because it actually shows a non-violent movement against this occupation led by a Palestinian village called Bil'in in the West Bank. Many media outlets tend to feed us this image of Palestinians as all very violent and unruly and I just thought this was a nice contrast to that notion. I know we all have differing opinions concerning this debate, but please at least take the time out to watch this! Smooches.
