The Lemon Tree
The Lemon Tree – ‘true’ story of a Palestinian woman who lives on the border with Israel, her neighbours being the Israeli defence minister whose secret service consider her lemon grove to be a safety hazard to the minister and want to cut it down. Not knowing the film was based on a true event, made me sceptical about the plot while watching, but non the less this was a good film to see, and I hope not stereotyping the characters too much. There was a wedding on in the Photography Museum which made any excursions from the cinema interesting as I had to walk through a very finely dressed wedding party, whooping it up, whilst my headspace was deep in the Palestinian/Israeli conflict.
