Where Olive Trees Weep is a heartbreakingly beautiful and poignant documentary about the struggles and resilience of Ashira Darwish, Ahed Tamimi, and other Palestinians living under Israeli occupation. It explores themes of loss, trauma, and the quest for justice, featuring Holocaust survivor Dr. Gabor Maté offering trauma healing work for Palestinian women tortured in Israeli prisons.

This screening includes a Q&A with Ashira Darwish hosted by Melissa Chemam.
