Budrus is a 2009 Israeli/Palestinian/American documentary film directed by Julia Bacha, produced by Ronit Avni, Rula Salameh, and Julia Bacha, and with a screenplay by Bacha. The film is about non-violent demonstrations conducted by the residents of Budrus (a Palestinian town in the Ramallah and al-Bireh Governorate) during the early 2000s to protest against the building of the Israeli West Bank barrier inside of the village.[1][2]

Budrus debuted on the festival circuit at the Dubai International Film Festival on December 13, 2009.[3] Its theatrical release was on September 24, 2010, in the UK.[4] and on October 8, 2010, in the United States (New York).[5]
