In light of the devasting destruction of Palestine that the world has watched unfold over the past nine months, we invite you to join us for a community screening of the deeply impactful documentary, "Where Olive Trees Weep". 

This film offers an eye-opening glimpse into the suffering and profound resilience of the Palestinian people living under Israeli occupation. Beyond education, the filmmakers' intention is 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

Funds raised from ticket sales will be donated directly to aid organizations working for the health and dignity of Palestinians living under occupation and as refugees.


"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." 

To keep everyone informed and create a container for future discussions and screenings, we've created a 

 where all event details and resources will be shared. 

As we gather in solidarity with our Palestinian brothers and sisters and bear witness to the horrors they have endured for generations, we are called to keep our hearts open to the pain of this moment, and let ourselves be moved.

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?
