We are proud to announce that the documentary film Budrus, the second film of our grantee Just Vision. This inspiring film features the story of a community organizer, Ayed Morrar, and his 15-year-old daughter Iltezam who unite local Fatah and Hamas members, a strong women's contingent, and Israeli supporters in an unarmed movement to save their village of Budrus from destruction by Israel's Separation Barrier. This important documentary chronicles the growing, yet little known movement of people who choose a nonviolent approach to the Middle East conflict.
The film has earned significant recognition at the Berlin Film Festival and the Human Rights Film Festival in London, has been screened to sold out audiences at the Tribeca Film Festival.
