This documentary follows a group of Palestinian women on the West Bank.
Working together with the Israeli human rights organization B’Tselem,
these courageous Palestinian women use video as a way to non-violently
capture daily human rights violations in their villages. Their videos
are uploaded raw to YouTube by B’Tselem’s Camera Project in Jerusalem.
The footage has gone viral: it has swayed public opinion, been
admitted as evidence in Israeli courts, and resulted in the
convictions of abusive soldiers and their superiors. The documentary
also focuses on the personal lives of Salam, Ayatt and Nariman, three
young Palestinian women: their struggles between tradition and
modernity, between invisibility and international media attention.
Their portraits are built from animation, interviews and vérité
footage, intercut with the alarming scenes that they film.

The film is a satirical family portrait of sorts explored through
image, movement, space and time. Dream-like the film unfolds,
revealing fragments of a dark and broken narrative. Set in a tiny
cottage that once happened to be a slaughterhouse, the characters pose
like masked actors on stage almost performing for the camera. The idea
of family takes on a disturbing and eerie tone as the film progresses.
