A new documentary, Where Olive Trees Weep, explores Palestinian loss, trauma and the fight for justice over decades of life under Israeli occupation. We speak with two people featured in the film: Ashira Darwish, a Palestinian journalist and therapist, and Dr. Gabor Maté, an acclaimed Hungarian Canadian physician whose work focuses on addiction and trauma.
"I was only 16 when I was taken," says Darwish, describing the first time she was beaten and arrested by Israeli soldiers, which motivated her to become a journalist in order to both document and fight against the occupation. "What's happening in Palestine is devastating, and what's happening in the West Bank and Gaza has been going on for 75 years."
Maté, a Holocaust survivor born in Hungary, recounts his own trauma as a child and says "that same horror" is being inflicted on Palestinian children today.

"Palestinians don't suffer PTSD because it hasn't passed, they have been living the trauma for almost 75 years" says Gabor Mate, one of very few most favorite people on Earth.

This movie shows the brutality of the occupiers and the strength and resilience of the besieged Palestinians. It is full of melancholy, sadness and loneliness of these heroic people. The title is very well chosen, in Palestine even the ancient olive trees cry😢❤.
