Mohammed Aborjela shared this short documentary on October 6. He interviews Naseem, a displaced farmer helping to harvest olives at an orchard near her displacement camp.

Before the war, Naseem had her own olive groves. She recalls how members of her family would come help harvest, and the sense of family and community through this shared activity. Though her farm is destroyed, she tells Aborjela "I love harvesting the trees. It's the beautiful part."

Olive trees are a long standing cultural symbol in Palestine. Before the war, olive production made up 14% of Palestine's economy. As such, these trees have been a target of occupation forces for many years.
