DESCRIPTION:Running Time 103 minutes, 2024. The film screening will be followed by 
 discussion with film audience.\n\nWhere Olive Trees Weep offers a searing 
 window into the struggles and resilience of the Palestinian people under 
 Israeli occupation. Following Palestinian journalist and therapist Ashira 
 Darwish, grassroots activist Ahed Tamimi and others, the film explores the 
 themes of loss, trauma, and quest for justice. 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 the resilience — the deep roots that have carried the 
 Palestinian people through decades of darkness and shattered lives. Bearing 
 witness to their harrowing experiences, one cannot help but ask: What makes 
 the oppressor so ruthlessly blind to its own 
 cruelty?\n\n=================================================================\n\nCALL
