Amount of film watched in class on Thursday, Feb. 13 and Tuesday, Feb. 18:

Period 4 - 1:11:45

Finish the film.  Then think about the following questions and write a 1-page response:

Why does the film focus so much on Gibreel (Emad's youngest son)?  What purpose does it serve when telling the story of the town of Bil'in?  Why did the filmmakers use Gibreel as a way to measure time over the past 10 years?  What does Gibreel represent?  What is the rest of his life going to be like?  How has his view of the world been shaped?  What are his attitudes about the world going to be like when he gets older?
