Where Olive Trees Weep + Q&A
Datum: Ons 16 okt, 2024

We are proud to screen the acclaimed documentary Where Olive Trees Weep, followed by an online Q&A with the film's main character, activist and journalist Ashira Darwish. The screening is free but booking is required and we urge the participants to make a donation to Palestinagrupperna's emergency fundraising for Gaza.

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 also witness Dr. Gabor Maté offer trauma-healing work to a group of women who were 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.

ONLINE Q&A WITH ASHIRA DARWISH
Ashira Ali Darwish worked for 15 years as a TV & Radio journalist and researcher in Palestine for the BBC, Amnesty International and Human Right Watch. She will talk about her experience as a Palestinian living under occupation, her first-hand experience of trauma in Israeli prison and her constant journey to healing. “I was only 16 when I was taken,” says Darwish, describing the first time she was beaten and arrested by Israeli soldiers. This motivated her to become a journalist in order to both document and fight against the occupation. “What’s happening in Palestine is devastating, and what’s happening in the West Bank and Gaza has been going on for 75 years.”
