When his fourth son, Gibreel, is born in 2005, self-taught cameraman Emad Burnat, a Palestinian villager, gets his first camera. At the same time in his village of Bil’in, a separation barrier is being built by Israel. The villagers begin to resist this decision. Burnat films this resistance movement while recording Gibreel who grows into a life of violence and oppression as the punishment acts by Israeli army get more and more closer. One camera after the other is either shot or smashed. Each camera unfolds a part of his story. Eventually, Burnat joins forces with Israeli filmmaker, Guy Davidi and together they create a powerful piece of work.
