New film 'We are Nabi Saleh' offers a 'portrait of a Palestinian village in resistance' Jeaunkes, Jan 28, 2012
'We are Nabi Saleh' is the portrait of a Palestinian village in resistance. Various aspects of the Israeli occupation are reflected in this village with only 500 inhabitants. A checkpoint is installed at the entrance of Nabih Saleh, olive trees are cut for security reasons and orders for the demolition of houses follow. In 2009 the source of the village has been taken over by the colony. From that moment, every Friday the residents of Nabih Saleh organise a protest march towards the source. Every Friday the protest is beaten down with injuries and arrests as a result. The creators of the documentary "We are Nabi Saleh" followed the protests for six months and stayed several weeks in the village to make a unique portrait of Nabi Saleh.
