5 Broken Cameras Page #4

---

But I wasn't afraid.

They were in front of Daddys's car.

And you weren't afraid?

Weren't you afraid they'd take you?

Weren't you afraid, Gibreel?

Yes, I was.

If there's tear gas,

just smell the onion.

You're a hero.

- No!

- A hero.

Gibreel's skin is so sensitive,

even the scratch of a sponge

leaves marks on his back.

I hpe he'll develop

a thick skin fast.

The army comes into the village

more and more often.

They try to keep people

from demostrating.

When I film,

I feel like the camera

protects me.

But it's an illusion.

I film my brother Khaled's arrest.

My mother and father

try to stop the jeep.

I keep thinking,

"What should I do?"

I have to believe that capturing

these images

will have some meaning.

Now the soldiers

start comming at night.

Mostly for kids.

They're trying to force us to quit.

Welcome to the club, Bil'in!

Go in and shut the door.

How can you arrest a child?

Hush, little baby, don't say a word

Mama's gonna trap you a bird

Where are you going?

Where are you going?

To the wall.

Watch out, you're gonna fall!

- Why?

- Because they're taking our land!

To take back the land

the army stole!

We want to sleep!

Stop filming.

Get behind the fence.

You're strong Gibreel.

- Don't be afraid.

Look!

They're afraid of a bunch of kids

If you go back,

nobody will throw stones at you!

This is a small village.

Lots of Israelis come here.

These people want peace

The Israelis are

our cousings, my friend.

If you leave,

we'll go back to our village.

What's this?

You've wounded and Israeli!

Call an ambulance!

He's bleeding!

Open up!

Get out of here!

There are no kids here!

- What?

- They shot your brother, Eyad,

in the shoulder.

Let's see your shoulder.

It's not serious.

Sit down and let me see.

It's nothing, Mom

It's superficial, okay?

Le tme see the brochure

the soldiers distributed.

It says, "Stay away from the Wall

all day during

friday dimostrations"

So we'll demostrate on Saturdays

Let's look at the map

This is Bil'in

They took all this.

What's left?

They can't tell us what to do

We''ll stop when we decide to stop.

Open up!

Now it's my turn.

I take the camera

to protect myself.

- I ask you to stop filming.

- I can film in my own house.

Show me your I.D.

Get my I.D.

- What's the matter?

- This is a Closed Military Zone.

"The military has declared this area

a Closed Military Zone."

"Anyone found

in a Closed Military Zone

must evacuate the area at once.

"No one can enter

or remain on the premises..."

You are now in violation

of the order

- I ask you to stop filming.

- I'm a journalist, I can film.

This is a Closed Military Zone.

Stop filming.
