5 Broken Cameras - Award Winning First-Hand Account Of Non-Violent Resistance
This week was a continuation of film and video production. I was inspired by a radio interview I conducted two years ago on WBAI 99. 5 FM Pacifica radio. I interviewed an Arab-American activist named Leila Khalil, who is a current e-board member of American Muslims for Palestine. She had gone on a convoy with George Galloway in July 2009 to Gaza, Palestine. I wanted incorporate this interview by shedding more light of her experience in a visual context. This is just a preliminary cut and will need lots and lots of editing. I interviewed her at her home and she showed me pictures of her journey to Gaza, Palestine on her laptop. Although, the lighting and sound was not great, I was able to get 40 mins of footage. I edited it down to 12 mins, as a sample piece. Hopefully next time I can extract her photos via a USB and present it in that way with her voice over. I also wanted to shed light on one important point she makes about her experience and want to develop that further into just a 3 minute piece. This piece although is not perfect but inspired in considering making documentary films for my country Palestine.
