People of the Soil (2025)

In today's world, soil is often treated as little more than a medium, to be moved around by bulldozers in the process of 'construction', or extracted of energy in the form of cash crops. Yet, for people still connected to land, to water, and to all human and non-human beings, soil is generosity itself. This is why generous people in Palestine are literally referred to as people of the soil, Ahl el Thara. This film charts a journey through the lives and terrains of people from around the world who share common attributes of warm-heartedness, generosity, and responsibility towards all living creatures.
