An inspiring new documentary about the daily joys and struggles of Palestinian fair trade farmers and the American ultra-marathoners who ran across the West Bank planting olive trees and bridging cultures along the way.

The People and The Olive was filmed during the Run Across Palestine in February 2012, as a project of the Michigan-based non-profit On The Ground, which works to support sustainable community development in farming regions across the world. The run was supported by the Palestine Fair Trade Association, a collective more than 2500 small-scale farmers in the West Bank who have embraced fair trade practices to sustain their futures and to sell their products worldwide.

"Past generations planted these trees that we're eating from and are supporting our lives, and we plant trees for our future generations to support their lives." - Nasser Abufarha, Palestine Fair Trade Association founder
