Storyline

Atta’s family has farmed the Baqa’a Valley in the West Bank for centuries, but since Israel’s 1967 occupation, their land has been confiscated piecemeal by Israeli settlers, their homes and ancient farming terraces attacked and demolished. Spanning 25 years of a farmer’s struggle to stay steadfast, this is a moving testimony to the depth of one man’s humanity in the face of intensifying settler violence and intimidation.
