Salman Abu-Sitta, Director of the Palestine Land Society and the general coordinator of al-Awda the Palestinian Right of Return Coalition.

Guy Davidi and Emad Burnat directed and filmed 5 Broken Cameras, a powerful documentary following a Palestinian villager who films on a series of cameras the struggle of people in  his village against the Israeli army.  The film begins with his first camera recording the birth of his son...Each of five cameras, before they are destroyed in the conflict, tells its own story - "capturing wrenching visions of unjustifiable brutality toward Palestinians".  (Slant Magazine) The film won the World Cinema Directing Award at this year's Sundance Film Festival.  Watch the trailer here.
