Where Olive Trees Weep

Palestine Solidarity Group Carlisle & District is proud to be bringing the acclaimed documentary "Where Olive Trees Weep" to Penrith. We are excited to be able to bring you this brand new film, which gives background to the current crisis in Israel/Palestine and brings to light the lives of people in the occupied West Bank (2022). Their universally human stories speak of intergenerational pain, trauma and resilience. We hope they touch your heart, stir compassion and understanding, and give rise to a pursuit for justice. 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. The film is the directors' contribution towards their 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. Entry will be £5 payable on the door to cover our costs, and as always, further donations can be made to Medical Aid for Palestinians We look forward to having you join us for this momentous event
