Overview

Foragers is a Palestinian documentary film that blends non-fiction and fiction to examine the escalating conflict between the Israel Nature and Parks Authority and Palestinian communities who forage for wild plants on their ancestral lands. The film lovingly documents the inherited knowledge, ecological love, and cultural resilience embedded in the practice of foraging — traditions passed down through generations. Against a sharply political backdrop, Foragers reveals how an everyday act of gathering food becomes an act of resistance and identity. An elegantly constructed film that operates as both a nature portrait and a pointed political statement.
