Sinopsis
Emad is a Palestinian cameraman who decides to film the struggle against the wall separating his village, Bil'in in the West Bank, from the Israeli settlements. As he meticulously documents the conflict, he also watches his young son grow up. One camera after another is damaged and then replaced; each tells a different part of his story. A story of resistance.
