Film Synopsis:

Where Olive Trees Weep offers a searing window into the struggles and resilience of the Palestinian people under Israeli occupation. It explores themes of loss, trauma, and the quest for justice. We follow, among others, Palestinian journalist and therapist Ashira Darwish, grassroots activist Ahed Tamimi, and Israeli journalist Amira Hass. We witness Dr. Gabor Maté offering trauma-healing work for a group of women who have been tortured in Israeli prisons. Ancient landscapes bear deep scars, having witnessed the brutal reality of ancestral land confiscation, expulsions, imprisonment, home demolitions, water deprivation, and denial of basic human rights. Yet, through the veil of oppression, we catch a glimpse of resilience—deep roots that have carried the Palestinian people through decades of darkness and shattered lives. This emotional journey bares the humanity of the oppressed while grappling with the question: what makes the oppressor so ruthlessly blind to its own cruelty?

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR TICKETS:

The tickets for this event will be sold via Kinema. Kinema can’t change their currency to GBP so unfortunately, USD is the only available option. We checked and most banks will usually charge a small fee of 2.99%, so if the ticket is USD 13, you’ll pay around USD 13.40. In GBP that will amount to aproximate £10.46 . We want to make sure you are aware of any additional costs as most of you will be paying in GBP. If you have any questions please let us know.

 

This will be a fundraiser screening for one of our friends, Laila, who is currently trapped in Gaza and is due to give birth in August. We are working to raise the funds to get her to safety over the border into Egypt.
