Build a movie plot around this: How many acres of land would be lost? 300
Jordana Horn in The Jewish Daily Forward states that:Budrus [is] a documentary by Julia Bacha that examines one West Bank town's reaction to Israel's construction of the security barrier. The town, with a population of 1,500, was set to be divided and encircled by the barrier, losing 300 acres of land and 3,000 olive trees. These trees were not only critical for economic survival but also sacred to the town's intergenerational history. The film tells the story of Ayed Morrar, a Palestinian whose work for Fatah had led to five detentions in Israeli jails, but whose momentous strategic decision that the barrier would be best opposed by nonviolent resistance had far-reaching ramifications.[6]
