The Norfolk Palestine Solidarity Campaign present WHERE OLIVE TREES WEEP. The voices of Palestine’s oppressed and colonised speak out in WHERE OLIVE TREES WEEP, made in June 2022. It offers a window into the continuing struggles of the Palestinian people living under Israeli occupation through a series of interviews with residents of the West Bank. It follows Palestinian journalist and therapist Ashira Darwish, grassroots activist Ahed Tamimi, and holocaust survivor Dr. Gabor Maté through their journey in understanding the Israeli and Palestinian conflict from different perspectives.
The Directors, Zaya and Maurizio Benazz, say: ‘The film gives background to the current crisis in Israel/Palestine and brings to light the lives of people we met... 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. For without justice, peace remains an empty slogan.’
This film is presented to you by the Norfolk PSC in collaboration with the Norwich Eco Hub, MaNGOma, Aid Alliance and Norwich Doughnut Economics Group.
