In class/homework: "Five Broken Cameras"

Date assigned

Thursday, March 17

Assignment

First, sign up for an account at dropbox.com - it's free.

Finish watching "Five Broken Cameras" - https://www.dropbox.com/s/vu0lrqzm685laz6/geckos-5bc2011-xvid.avi?dl=0 - which we started in class:

Period 1 - 51:40

Period 3 - 47:10

Period 4 - 51:20

When you finish the film, write a response of at least 300 words.  Your response can be about anything, but if you get stuck, here are some possible topics:

Your reactions - What surprised you about this film?  What disturbed you about this film?  What was the most tragic thing about this film?

Gibreel - 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?

America - What is America's role in this movie?  Is America responsible for anything that happens in this film?  Could America stop what is happening in this film?  Can you think of similar situations to what is happening in the West Bank that have happened in American history?  What about in America today?
