Land of Canaan (Maggie Lemere, 2025, 84 min, Palestine)
In recognition of the harvest season now underway, Reel Work brings you this rare and intimate portrait of Palestinian farmers and their ancient olive trees — some more than 1, 000 years old — as living symbols of heritage, livelihood, and resilience. This award-winning documentary showcases farming as both cultural preservation and a vision for the future, highlighting how food sovereignty, environmental stewardship, and economic resilience are deeply intertwined. Fair trade Palestinian olive oil will be available at the event.
