Swindon Palestine Solidarity invites locals to a special screening of the film “Where Olive Trees Weep” on Thursday, 27th June, at 7 pm. The event will take place at the Swindon Bangladeshi Centre, 66 County Road, Swindon, SN1 2EW.
The film follows the lives of Palestinian journalist and therapist Ashira Darshwin, grassroots activist Ahed Tamimi, and Israeli journalist Amira Hass. Additionally, viewers will witness the trauma-healing work of Dr. Gabor Maté, who assists a group of women tortured in prison.
“Where Olive Trees Weep” delves deeply into themes of loss, trauma, and the relentless quest for justice. Suitable for audiences aged 12 and up, the film provides a profound look into the ongoing crisis in Israel/Palestine and the lives of those affected.
