Tonight I went and watched a film called FORAGERS, which was shot and created by Jumana Manna, and follows the ongoing practice of indigenous Palestinians in foraging ‘Akkoub and za’atar, plants and herbs that are native to the land. The film is a blend between documentary, fiction and re-enactment in a way that is so compelling, and also is shot in a way where the land feels like a character, and we see it being caught between the Israeli land laws and the indigenous Palestinian people.
