Synopsis

Follow Just Vision on Twitter

Ayed Morrar, an unlikely community organizer, unites Palestinians from all political factions and Israelis to save his village from destruction by Israel’s Separation Barrier. Victory seems improbable until his 15-year-old daughter, Iltezam, launches a women’s contingent that quickly moves to the front lines.

Budrus was created by Just Vision, a team of Palestinians, Israelis, North and South Americans. We are committed to providing our films and accompanying materials for free to as many Palestinian and Israeli audiences as possible.

I saw part of it, and it was great. When I came back today to finish it out, it was inaccessible, even for a fee.

Great film. Thanks for showing the struggle how it really is. Joshua Richeson's comment about Israel is unnecessary and hinders the real message. The Jewish people are terrified about anti-semitism, still, and they have every right to be. It's even worse when it comes from non-Jewish Americans who are 'supposed' to be neutral allies.
