Five broken cameras (Five broken cameras, 2011) This unique documentary in every sense, was recorded by a Palestinian peasant, Emad Burnat, in 2005, the year he was building a wall (like many others) in a city in the West Bank area on the grounds of protection, but with order of occupation of Palestinian lands by Jewish settlers. The production ran for 2013 Oscar as best foreign documentary chronicles the daily life and experiences of the various conflicts, taxation and resistance in the town of Bilin. The five broken cameras which the films title refers are the devices used by Emad filming and are destroyed by the hands or by bullets from Israeli soldiers during conflicts he recorded. What caught my attention was the work of a Palestinian family connection with Brazil, besides children dressed in the uniform of the Brazilian national football team, there are also flags of Brazil in the house of Emad door and in one of his cameras. In the film says that for some time, his wife, Soraya, lived in Brazil. Other, external to the production itself, curious fact was the brief detention of Emad and his family in American airport when landed in Los Angeles for the Academy Awards party this year. Michael Moore was the one who brokered the release of Emad. It seems that they could not understand how a Palestinian could have been Oscar nominated, said Moore.
