Peacefully Resisting Occupation: Teen Journalist Arafat Kanaan

Palestine Monitor, supported by the NoVA Center for Social Innovation, introduces you to 16-year-old filmmaker Arafat Kanaan from Nil'in - a village at the heart of peaceful resistance, which the apartheid wall has turned into a ghetto. Arafat has filmed as Israel imposed curfews on the village, staged military incursions, humiliated, beaten and assassinated villagers. During the protests, Arafat films as Israeli solders respond to non-violent resistance with teargas cannons, rubber bullets, live ammunition, sound bombs and sewage water. Despite harrassment from Israeli soldiers, who broke his camera while he was filming an assassination, Arafat continues to peacefully resist - and expose - life in his village under occupation.
