Where Olive Trees Weep

At this time of incomprehensible destruction of Gaza and its people, this newly released film, Where Olive Trees Weep lifts the veil of silence which has stifled the Palestinian story for the past 76 years. My hope is that watching this film will give you a glimpse into the lives of Palestinians under occupation so you understand, emotionally as well as intellectually, their calls for equality, justice and freedom. 100% of the ticket sales profits will be donated to UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Agency for Refugees in the Near East, a UN agency that supports the relief and human development of Palestinian refugees). 

After the film, there will be time for questions and reflections.

Where Olive Trees Weep gives background to the current crisis in Israel/Palestine and brings to light the lives of people on a 2022 journey in the occupied West Bank. It explores human stories of intergenerational pain, trauma and resilience. 

We hope these stories touch your heart, stir compassion and understanding, and give rise to a pursuit for justice. For without justice, peace remains an empty slogan.

Cinema can be a powerful force for change. Our aim is, beyond mere education, to truly move hearts and minds and inspire audiences to echo the calls for freedom, equality and dignity that have gone unanswered for far too long.

The film is our modest contribution towards our dream for an end to the occupation in Palestine, the attainment of equal rights and fair treatment for Palestinian people, and the spreading of healing for all intergenerational cycles of trauma in the region.
