EFF26: Land of Canaan

As Palestinian culture and land are threatened with systematic destruction, this documentary feature film presents a rare and intimate view of Palestinian farmers and their ancient olive trees – symbols of resilience, heritage, and home. Olive trees have been integral to Palestinian culture and well-being for thousands of years. 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 ancient olive trees they serve.
