- Drama
Salma Zidane, a widow, lives simply from her grove of lemon trees in the West Bank's occupied territory. The Israeli defence minister and his wife move next door, forcing the Secret Service to order the trees' removal for security. The stoic Salma seeks assistance from the Palestinian Authority, Israeli army, and a young attorney, Ziad Daud, who takes the case. In this allegory, does David stand a chance against Goliath?
Lemon Tree is a 2008 drama that uses the true story of a Palestinian widow fighting to save her lemon grove when an Israeli defence minister moves next door. Directed by Eran Riklis and starring Hiam Abbass, the film explores themes of justice, land rights, and resilience through the lens of a legal battle with geopolitical stakes. Now available to stream, it remains a powerful examination of power, displacement, and human dignity.
