Past Events



Film Screening: Where Olive Trees Weep

Friday, March 27th, 6:00pm-8:00pm
The Log Cabin, Grand Marais

"The film gives background to the current crisis in Israel/Palestine and brings to light the lives of people we met on our 2022 journey in the occupied West Bank. Their universally human stories speak of intergenerational pain, trauma and resilience. We hope they touch your heart, stir compassion and understanding, and give rise to a pursuit for justice. For without justice, peace remains an empty slogan." - WhereOliveTreesWeep.com
