Palestinian farmer/videographer Burnat was given a video camera, which he used to record the encroachment of settlements onto his village. Over time, as cameras got broken – by tear gas, rifle fire – he replaced them, and kept filming. Israeli co-director Davidi edited Burnat's footage into this tough, moving and engrossing documentary.
