LEMON TREE
(PG) 2008 Israel/Germany/France 106 mins Subtitled

Palestinian widow Salma (Hiam Abbass) takes on the Israeli Defense Minister when he moves to the house opposite her lemon grove and threatens to cut it down. An understated, thought-provoking yet positive view of the Palestinian-Israeli troubles.
 
“Lemon Tree offers no solution to the ancient struggles of ownership in the West Bank, but it shines a tender, humane light on the individual lives it continues to disrupt” Independent
