Budrus ~ Non-Violent Struggle for Human Rights

Thanks to Der Spiegel for spotting Budrus, director Julia Bacha's Just Vision documentary about peacebuilding, civil disobedience, and action towards a shared future by focusing on the experience of...
"...a Palestinian community organizer, Ayed Morrar, who unites local Fatah and Hamas members along with Israeli supporters in an unarmed movement to save his village of Budrus from destruction by Israel’s Separation Barrier. Success eludes them until his 15-year-old daughter, Iltezam, launches a women’s contingent that quickly moves to the front lines. Struggling side by side, father and daughter unleash an inspiring, yet little-known, movement in the Occupied Palestinian Territories that is still gaining ground today. In an action-filled documentary chronicling this movement from its infancy, Budrus shines a light on people who choose nonviolence to confront a threat."
