“Where Olive Trees Weep” is a profoundly moving and challenging film, documenting the ongoing trauma experienced by Palestinians living in Gaza and the occupied West Bank. Filmed before October 7th, 2023 and the Gaza War, it explores stories of Israeli military violence against Palestinians, the effect of ongoing trauma, and possible paths for healing. 

Filmmakers Zaya and Maurizio Bennazo join us in person for a discussion facilitated by Rabbi Irwin following the screening. 

Please note: this film is gut-wrenching, heart-rending, and unflinching. Those who choose to attend should understand that it is a difficult watch. It also might stir your empathy and contribute to your commitment to justice and peace.

This screening is open only to Ner Shalom members, enrolled Nitzanim families, and members of the Convergence Cohort.
