We end the evening with a screening of “Foragers,” a film that captures the complexities and humor of foraging for wild edible plants in Palestine/Israel. Filmed in the Golan Heights, the Galilee, and Jerusalem, the movie blends fiction, documentary, and archival footage to explore the impact of Israeli nature protection laws on traditional practices. These restrictions have led to fines and trials for many Palestinians caught collecting native plants like ’akkoub and za’atar. The film follows the journey of these plants from the wild to the kitchen, highlighting the resilience of these traditions in the face of restrictive laws and raising critical questions about the politics of preservation.
