Join MHVDSA's Palestine Liberation Working Group on Sunday, May 25th at 2 PM for a screening and discussion of "Where Olive Trees Weep", as part of a film series organized by the Middle East Crisis Response (MECR) and co-sponsored by MHVDSA.
LOCATION: Old Dutch Church, 272 Wall St, Kingston, NY 12401
"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.
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?"
