Returning to Zarnouga
With Haidar Eid, Neta Golan, facilitated by Maurizio & Zaya Benazzo
A conversation about expulsion, genocide and the inevitability of return, between Neta Golan, Israeli Activist, and Haidar Eid, who was a Professor of Postcolonial and Postmodern Literature at Gaza’s al-Aqsa University before its utter destruction, who struck an unlikely friendship during the Great March of return in 2018.
This is a rare opportunity to hear frank, grounded analysis directly from the front lines — from an uncompromising Palestinian voice that refuses to cede dignity or the collective rights enshrined in international law. Dr. Eid’s insights are both an urgent call for solidarity and a reminder that a liberated Palestine is a prerequisite for human emancipation everywhere.
‘Where Olive Trees Weep’ is a poignant, heartbreaking film about the struggles and resilience of Palestinian people under Israeli occupation. It explores themes of loss, trauma, and the quest for justice. We follow, among others, Palestinian journalist and therapist Ashira Darwish, grassroots activist Ahed Tamimi, and Israeli journalist Amira Hass. It features Dr. Gabor Maté as he offers trauma-healing work to Palestinian women tortured in Israeli prisons.
The program expands on the themes explored in the film and provides a larger historical and social context. Access to the program and the film is by donation.
