Budrus is a border town on the West Bank. The wall that the Israelis are building runs through their land, destroying their fields and decimating their olive groves. Faced with the bulldozers of the invasion, the peaceful efforts deployed by the population in order to stand up for their rights are met with unanimous support. Women, children, members of Fatah or Hamas, Israelis, foreigners... An incredible assembly of hope and determination.
