Film: “Where Olive Trees Weep”

September 26 @ 6:45 pm - 9:00 pm

The filmmakers journeyed to the occupied West Bank in 2022.  Background to the current crisis is given as the film examines the lives of people they met.  The Palestinians share their universally human stories of intergenerational pain, trauma and resilience.

.Anne Romney is a member of Not in My Name and will moderate a discussion after each film.  Participants will be encouraged to share their reactions as well as questions about the films and the Israel/Palestine situation. Anne is an educator and facilitator who  has traveled to Israel/Palestine on a Compassionate Listening Journey to meet with both Jews and Arabs living in and out of the Occupied Territories. She has researched the background of the conflict for many years and is committed to promoting awareness and action around a humanitarian crisis that has long been in the shadows.

Not In My Name is a group of NH Jews who condemn the monstrous acts of Hamas on October 7, 2023, but also strenuously oppose the Israeli government’s ongoing inhumane attacks on Palestinian civilians in Gaza and the West Bank.  We are hosting two films at Red River Theater in Concord, NH.  Our goal is to educate people about the situation and share ways to become involved.

Tickets are $12 and are available at the door.

Cosponsored by:  AFSC-NH, NH Peace Action, Palestine Education Network, Jewish Voice for Peace Vermont/NH, and Concord Friends Meeting.
