When the residents of Budrus learn that the lsraeIi army pIans to build the Separation Barrier through their town, cutting them off from neighboring Palestinian viIIages and uprooting their precious oIive groves, they decide to organize. Under the leadership of Ayed Morrar, Palestinian men of aIl political factions come together to wage an unarmed struggIe to preserve their Iands. Victory seems unIikeIy untiI Ayed's 15-year-oId daughter steps in to organize a femaIe contingent that brings the women of Budrus to the front lines in a tense stand-off with the miIitary.
As word of the nonviolent protest spreads, Israeli citizens, internationaI activists and PaIestinians from other viIIages join the people of Budrus to demand that the Barrier be moved. Struggling side by side, father and daughter unleash an inspiring, yet IittIe-known movement that is stiII gaining ground today. Featuring interviews with unarmed demonstrators, lsraeIi soIdiers and the citizens of Budrus, this harrowing, action-filIed, and uItimateIy inspiring documentary has given hope to audiences around the world with its story of the ground-breaking nonvioIent movement spreading across the Occupied Palestinian Territories.
