Budrus is a powerful documentary about a community organizer, Ayed Morrar, who unites local Palestinians along with Israeli supporters, in a movement to save his village of Budrus from devastation byIsrael’s Separation Barrier. Success eludes them until his 15 year old daughter, Iltezam, launches a women’s contingent which quickly moves to the front lines. Struggling side by side, father and daughter unleash an inspiring, yet little-known nonviolent movement that continues to this day against the Separation Wall in the Occupied Palestinian Territories.
