As Palestinian life and land are threatened with systematic destruction, this documentary presents a rare and intimate view of Palestinian farmers and their ancient olive trees - symbols of resilience, heritage, and home. Faced with ongoing political violence and the loss of their land, a visionary olive farmer brings thousands of small-scale olive farmers together in fair trade cooperatives that connect them to global markets and create a future for their families, one that is life-affirming and nurtures their ancestral relationship to the land and the olive trees they serve.
