Free virtual world premiere screening of the documentary feature film "Land of Canaan"

The film screening will be followed by discussion with the film director Maggie Lemere and Nasser Abufarha, founder and director of Canaan Palestine.

Land of Canaan is a feature documentary and cinematic environmental meditation that immerses viewers in the lives of and relationships between Palestinian farmers and their thousands-of-years-old olive trees in the West Bank, Palestine. At its center is Dr. Nasser Abufarha, a Palestinian-American entrepreneur who returns to the West Bank and, finding the olive heritage in crisis, leads a movement to preserve an ecosystem and generations of ecological knowledge while helping build one of Palestine’s most influential fair-trade networks. In a time when land, culture, and livelihood face erasure, Land of Canaan bears witness to what is at stake — and why it must be protected.
