My Dear Olive Tree

My Dear Olive Tree
Director: Osama Qashoo

The Olive branch is universally recognized as a symbol of peace. But, that hasn't stopped it from being victim of Israeli aggression.

In the West Bank and Gaza, the Israeli Army has uprooted nearly half a million trees - some of them dating back to Roman times.

What's not in doubt is the personal tragedy this leaves in its wake. Palestinian land owner Sharif Khalid travels over three days to get to the Witness studio to explain to Rageh Omaar why he chooses to sleep in his shed.

"MY DEAR OLIVE TREE" is a personal and passionate film by a young Palestinian Director.
