West Norwood 4 Palestine Film Festival - Screening 4: 'Foragers'
Foragers explores the criminalization of traditional Palestinian foraging practices, like gathering wild ‘akkoub and za’atar, under Israeli conservation laws. Through a mix of fiction, documentary, and archival footage, the film reveals how these laws displace Palestinians from their land, using food as a lens to examine settler colonial violence and cultural resistance.
The screening includes a Q&A and celebration of Palestinian culture, with food and drinks available for purchase. Proceeds beyond festival costs will support The Middle East Children’s Alliance, aiding children in the region since 1988.

Munch of the Week
Cedar
“Cedar is located in South Wimbledon, near where I grew up. Not only does it have the best and most authentic Lebanese food, but I hold it close to my heart because it’s where my family and I would always go out to eat when I was growing up and even to this day! One of my Teta’s favourites too. My Teta always cooked the best Lebanese/Armenian food so I always trusted her judgement on this one being authentic.” - BKLAVA
