A Palestinian community organiser unites Fatah, Hamas and protesting Israelis in a struggle to save his village from destruction.
Community organiser Ayed Morrar began a programme of peaceful protest, uniting Fatah and Hamas supporters as well as Israeli civilians, when the Israeli Separation Barrier threatened to wipe out his village of Budrus in the Palestinian West Bank. However, success was limited, until his determined, fifteen-year old daughter Iltezam mobilised a womens' wing, revitalising the campaign. In this inspiring documentary, filmed over months and months of protests, we witness the efforts of extraordinary individuals who take on the most rigid, violent political social divides to work collectively for peace.
