Where Olive Trees Weep: Official Trailer (2024)
Visit www.WhereOliveTreesWeep.com for more information about the film.
World Premiere, June 6-27, 2024
"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 witness Dr. Gabor Maté offering trauma-healing work for a group of women who have been 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.
This emotional journey bares the humanity of the oppressed while grappling with the question: what makes the oppressor so ruthlessly blind to its own cruelty?

About "Where Olive Trees Weep"
The film gives background to the current crisis in Israel/Palestine and brings to light 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 give rise to a pursuit for justice. For without justice, peace remains an empty slogan.
Cinema can be a powerful force for change. Our aim is, beyond mere education, to truly move hearts and minds and inspire audiences to echo the calls for freedom, equality and dignity that have gone unanswered for far too long.
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.

@@Avishag_lili Are you surprised that the Hebrew bible preach peace? We all know the Hebrew tradition is deeply embed in peace, and that is why we are surprised by the action of the current leaders of Israel. While they talk about Judaism what they have very little to do with the Hebrew tradition!
The oldest tree in the world at 6,000yrs is an olive. It says so much about the depth of history and resilience of the Palestinian people.

Wow. No matter how painful it is to watch, watch it and feel another human's pain. That makes you human.
Bravo -- I look forward to seeing this film, too
Thank you for being normal human who care!!! I am more than disgusted with so called spiritual leaders, who pretend they don't live on this planet. Благодаря ти, Зая!
Deepest respect, admiration and gratitude to the SAND Team, Maurizio and Zaya and all involved in making of this offering, for the courage to take a conscientious stand in full knowledge of what it entails, and for not burring one’s head (one’s consciousness) in a quick sand of nonduality 🤍🙏🏽🕊

@@scienceandnonduality Maurizio and Zaya, it’s my turn to shed a tear, yet we must be strong and resolute in our stand. Truth be told my efforts are nothing (and the repercussions except for a few nasty comments and some unsubscribed is nothing really) compared to what You and Your Team have done and continue doing together with Gabor Maté, who in my books is nothing short of being Saint Gabor, for his sanity and an uncompromising role in facing with one of world’s most dangerous sickness in the guise of Zionist ideology and its insane practices, and attempting to put a healing touch to it. Hands in Pranams and shoulder to shoulder in facing this together 🙏🏽🤎
I can’t wait to watch it - it says AVAILABLE ONLINE June 6 thru June 21st . I hope I can share it with so many people
Thank you for sharing. Truth, Justice and Peace should go hand to hand.
Sadness, anger, disbelief and finally a fierce sense of hope that justice will finally prevail.
Thank you for bringing Light on Darkness.
Inhumane, heartbreaking injustice.
Beautifully shot
Thank you ❤🇵🇸 I will be watching
Poignantly evocative & somehow sadly beautiful to have something that touches the Soul amidst all the horror 🕊

@@NowIKnow8 You understand that ""Palestine" was written in Herodotus's 'Histories' 2500 years ago, right? That for the past almost 2000 years, every map writes Palestine until the 1948 terror State of Israel, right? And that thanks to the wonders of DNA, we now know that modern-day Palestinians are direct descendants of the Canaanites and Canaan, the even more ancient name for the Land of Palestine... right? I could go on and on. You really don't want that.
Thank you for this , looking forward to watch. I wish it was more balanced and presented the other side trauma as well . Both sides at sufferance & trauma by the insitutions , the everyday people. Many miss seeing this , unfortunately.
This looks absolutely amazing...the voices in this movie are brave and so very important. I am even more in awe of Dr Mate after this for his continued commitment to speak the truth and cannot wait to watch his healing session for the women.
As a Palestinian im excited for this!
God bless your soul Mr Mate and every member of your family. You’re an incredible human being and I absolutely love you Mashallah 👑
