DESCRIPTION:Film Screening of Where Olive Trees Weep and Conversation with Producer, 
 Ashira Darwish.\n\nABOUT THE FILM\nWhere 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.\nWe follow, among others, Palestinian journalist and therapist 
 Ashira Darwish, grassroots activist Ahed Tamimi, and Israeli journalist 
 Amira Hass. We also witness Dr. Gabor Maté offer trauma-healing work to a 
 group of women who were tortured in Israeli prisons.\n\nAncient 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.\n\nWe will then host a conversation with Ashira Darwish, who is 
 featured prominently in the film. Darwish worked for 15 years as a TV & 
 Radio journalist and researcher in Palestine for the BBC, Amnesty 
 International, and Human Rights Watch. She is the founder of Catharsis 
 Holistic Healing, a trauma therapy project pioneering a type of Sufi active 
 meditation that draws its roots from ancestral and Indigenous knowledge.
