In an occupied land where water is a privilege, two farmers working the same stretch of land face increasingly unequal opportunities. Abu, a Palestinian farmer, does not have reliable access to a water source, meaning his crop yields are poor and his family struggles for income. In contrast, living just north of Abu is Eli, a member of the Israeli community. Eli reaps the benefits of access to millions of litres of water per day, allowing him to maintain his vast and lucrative date farm. Despite Abu’s daily struggles, he is determined to keep farming and resisting until the last drop. Our 20-minute observational documentary seeks the spotlight the realities of punitive Israeli policies on Palestinians living the West Bank to European audiences.
