Want to Host a Screening? Visit: https://www.WhereOliveTreesWeep.com \nThe film provides background to the current crisis in Israel/Palestine and illuminates the lives of people we met on our 2022 journey in the occupied West Bank. Their universally human stories speak of intergenerational pain\, trauma\, and resilience. We hope they touch your heart\, stir compassion and understanding\, and inspire a pursuit of justice. For without justice\, peace remains an empty slogan.  \nCinema can be a powerful force for change. This film aims to move hearts and minds beyond mere education and inspire audiences to echo the calls for freedom\, equality\, and dignity that have gone unanswered for far too long.  \nThe 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.  \nDirectors’ Statement  \nWhere Olive Trees Weep explores themes of loss\, trauma\, and the quest for justice.
