"Youth of Sumud” - the youth of steadfast perseverance - tries to return to their people the land that was taken from their families, restructuring the ancient cave village of Sarura. <br> They face aggression with nonviolent action, defending themselves from rifles with their video cameras; they oppose desolation and death with hope and life. <br> Ten years after their first documentary on the nonviolent struggle in the West Bank, the directors return to the village of At-Tuwani and, using archival material more than 15 years old, tell how the children have grown up.
