The Chaski Audiovisual Laboratory (L.A.Chaski), in collaboration with Resumen Latinoamericano and the Third World and with the support of the Al-Mayadeen Pan-Arab News Network in Spanish, is making the documentary “La Raíz del Olivo” (2024) by director Sergio Eguino Viera available for information, education and solidarity work with Palestine at an international level.
The film “La Raíz del Olivo” tells the story of five Palestinians who live far from their homeland and narrate their experiences in the face of the intensification of the genocide and the Israeli occupation, which has been going on for more than 77 years.
From a distance, Watan, Omaima, Murid, Baylasan and Bassel share stories of struggle, loss and hope. Through their letters, their daily lives and their memories, intertwined with the impotence of being far away, they express their unshakeable faith in a free future for Palestine, always with the constant support of Cuba, the country that welcomes them.
The film will be available for screenings and projections aimed at raising awareness, debate and actions of denunciation and solidarity on the current situation in Palestine.
