About the event

Síolta Chroí aim is to restore ecosystems and communities.

If we want to create a fairer more just world for our current and future generations then we need to stand against injustices. There are argueably none more visable at this moment then the on going genocide of the Palestinian people.

A lot of people are unaware at the scale of the injustice that the Palestinian people face every day even before the current increase in genocideal actcity of teh isarali state. This is a genocide that has been happening since 1948.

This films details the experience of life under occupation

About the film

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?
