Being a farmer today is challenging in any country. But under occupation, farming in Palestine becomes an act of resistance and a labour of love.
Founder of Zatoun, fair trade olive oil from Palestine, Robert Massoud took part in the olive harvest this past November and shares his experiences and impressions of a land and a people under occupation.
The presentation, illustrated with photos, looks at life in Palestinian villages, towns and cities; farms, factories and schools; as well homes, streets and camps. There will be fair-trade Palestinian olive oil and soap.
