Where Olive Trees Weep
Quakers for Peace in Palestine and Israel invites Friends to watch the film "Where Olive Trees Weep" in July.
And then join in a online discussion on August 1st.
This documentry film gives background to the current crisis in Israel/Palestine and brings to light the lives of people in the occupied West Bank. Their universally human stories speak of intergenerational pain, trauma and resilience. The film follows, among others:
-
Ashira Darwish, Palestinian journalist and therapist for BBC, Founder of Catharsis Holistic Healing and trauma therapy
-
Ahed Tamimi - West Bank grassroots activist
-
Amira Hass - Israeli journalist, daughter of two holicaust survivors.
-
Dr. Gabor Maté - holicaust survivor, supports a group of women seeking understanding and healing and offer his insights into intergenerational trauma.
The film is our modest contribution towards our dream for an end to the occupation in Palestine, the attainment of equal rights and fair treatment for Palestinian people, and the spreading of healing for all intergenerational cycles of trauma in the region.
